Start with a link.

A whole batch. One workflow.

Capture a thought while it is fresh.
FreeRecord a voice memo inside TrueScribe, then transcribe and edit it with the same tools you use for imported recordings.
Make your research repeatable.
ProStart with a ready-made prompt for summaries or key points, or save your own. Bring the same questions to your next transcript.
Three steps from recording to text
No account, no upload queue, no waiting for a server.
Add your recording
Drop in an audio or video file, or record a dictation directly. With Pro you can also paste a direct media link or a supported public media page.
Transcribe on your machine
TrueScribe runs Whisper locally and picks a model that suits your hardware, downloading it once on first use. CPU and Vulkan runtimes are both supported.
Work with the result
Play back against the waveform, correct the text with undo and redo, name your speakers, translate, and export in the format your work needs.
Built for recordings that have to be read
The same workflow fits very different material.
Interviews
Keep two speakers apart, correct names and terms once, and quote from a transcript that carries timestamps.
Meeting recordings
Turn a long recording into text you can skim, search and hand on, without sending the room's conversation anywhere.
Lectures and talks
Follow the audio next to the text, fix technical vocabulary, and export study notes or subtitles.
Podcasts and video
Produce show notes, subtitle files and searchable archives from the episodes you already have.
Private when you keep processing local
TrueScribe can run transcription, speaker detection, translation, AI, editing, history and search on your machine. You decide when a feature may use a cloud model or remote endpoint.
Your audio stays on your device
Media files are decoded and transcribed locally. There is no upload step and no processing account.
Models are downloaded once
Whisper and diarization models are fetched on first use and then reused offline.
Cloud processing is an exception
If you choose a cloud model for transcription, translation, AI Research or another feature, the content needed for that operation leaves your device. The local privacy guarantee does not apply to it.
The network is for links and updates
Transcribing a link, downloading a model, checking your licence and error reporting are the times TrueScribe reaches the network.
Free to use. Pro when you need more.

Questions worth answering first
Does my audio leave my computer?
Local processing keeps your audio and transcripts on your machine. If you choose a cloud model or remote endpoint, the content needed for that operation is sent to that provider. Downloads, media links, licence checks and error reporting also use the network.
Which languages can it transcribe?
TrueScribe uses Whisper models, which cover a wide range of languages. It can detect the spoken language automatically or use the language you select.
Do I need a powerful graphics card?
No. TrueScribe runs on the CPU and can use a Vulkan runtime when your hardware supports it. The suggested model is matched to the machine it runs on, and faster hardware mainly means faster results.
Does it work offline?
Yes, once the models you use have been downloaded. The first transcription needs a connection to fetch the selected model.
Is Pro a subscription?
No. Pro is a one-time purchase.
Which systems are supported?
Windows and Linux, distributed through the Microsoft Store and as an AppImage.
