Hey HN! Built this because I was tired of waiting hours for transcription services and didn't want to upload sensitive recordings to the cloud.

  Real metrics from my M1 Max: 4.5hr video file transcribed in 3 minutes 32
  seconds. Works completely offline.

   First 5 HN users who click the button on the page get it free. Literally promo code straight to the app sore  


  Key differences vs Rev/Otter:
  - No 2-hour file limits (handles any length)
  - Timecodes stay accurate on long files (no drift from chunking)
  - Supports MP3, WAV, MP4, MOV, M4A, FLAC
  - Exports to SRT, VTT, JSON, PDF, DOCX, CSV, Markdown

  Built for macOS. Happy to answer questions!

What languages does this support? Does it support switching between multiple languages in one video?

For example, could it support a video that included spoken Latin, ancient Greek, German, and Italian?

So, can it handle multiple languages in one video, or do you need to segment the different languages using LID first? This has been a thorny issue for people working in multilingual audio (there are at least two or three of us).

I haven't test that specific edge case, I'm sorry. I tested 2 langue's having a normal conversation and that worked fine- "Auto or English" handle multiple lan the best

So weird that this is nowhere stated on the website at all. Was literally the first and only thing I was interested in. So bad.
