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!

Question: can it discern (and label) different speakers? If so, could you kindly share the limit on speakers per video?

You are looking for speaker diarization. No one is doing this well currently on device (in macOS land at least).

MacWhisper Pro supports this, if your need for this is time-sensitive. https://macwhisper.helpscoutdocs.com/article/32-automatic-sp...
