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!

I've been using MacWhisper for this, with a huge variety of transcription options and things like speaker detection. It works great for all the 1 hour and shorter videos I've fed it, but does this have more to offer?

I haven't tried a 4+ hour video with MacWhisper but I presume that would work the same.

Please be my guest to test my claims. No tall tales here!

MacWhisper handles multiple-hour-long recordings just fine for me. I regularly process 4hrs on MacWhisper. Even whisper-cpp works fine these days for long recordings too.

Cool product, but it would be better if you stopped spreading misinformation to support it.

I don’t see this sort of thing, has the page changed? Edit: the comments here…

The drop shadow on the pages does make it deeply unpleasant to read.
