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!

One thing that Rev and other online services have as well as MacWhisper is a good interface for editing the text to correct inevitable errors. Being able to click on the text and have it sync to the correct place in the audio is a must for my use case of transcribing interviews. Also speaker diarization.

Scribers’ iCloud system automatically backs up each transcription and organizes them in a three-pane folder view—somewhat inspired by Bars’ layout. This structure allows a surprising degree of customization for all your data needs, especially when transcribing interviews. It would probably make for a very comfortable workflow here
