TranscribeX features


Transcribe audio and video with exceptional accuracy

TranscribeX makes it easy to turn your recordings into precise transcripts using OpenAI Whisper, Parakeet, and Apple Intelligence. Simply import audio or video files from your Mac, drag and drop them into the app, or record directly using your microphone. You can even capture audio from other apps (Zoom, Google Meet, etc). And when you’re dealing with larger projects, you can transcribe multiple files at once, saving time and keeping your entire workflow moving smoothly.


Translate, summarize, and streamline your workflow

With built-in translation tools (Apple Translate and DeepL), you can translate transcripts into multiple languages. If you need a quick overview of long recordings, you can create summaries with ChatGPT, Gemini, and other AI models by entering your own API key. TranscribeX also includes predefined prompts to help you accelerate your workflow.


Edit and refine transcripts with powerful text tools

Once your transcript is ready, you can merge or split segments, customize speaker names, reflow segments by character or word count, or manually adjust timestamps for perfect alignment. Word-level text following keeps your place as you play the audio or video, and speaker diarization automatically identifies and labels different voices.


Work locally with full privacy and enhanced performance

All transcription and translation processes happen on your Mac, giving you maximum privacy with no data leaving your device. GPU acceleration ensures fast performance, even with long or complex recordings. TranscribeX supports a wide range of formats, lets you switch between compact and segment views, and includes options to reveal or delete original files directly from Finder. Everything is designed to help you work smoothly, securely, and efficiently.

    I thought I would be able to generate a summary of meetings embeded into templates but it’s just a transcription. Either I haven’t found the features or it’s not what I expected for. In any case the transcription is done correctly and the translation feature is also nice.

    Hey, there is AI Summary if you turn on the toggle in Transcription setting page. We are also adding the ability to export the Summary and Actions into a text file. Plus, customising which AI Service will be used for the AI Summary. Since this is just a feature request, I wonder if you could change the negative feedback to positive, or at least not a negative? Thanks so much.
