Transcrybe is a handy macOS tool that turns spoken words into live text on the fly. It sits right in your menu bar, so it’s always ready to caption meetings, videos, or your own voice at a moment’s notice. Made for the Apple ecosystem, Transcrybe uses on-device processing, which means you get instant translations. And don’t worry about privacy — your meetings and chats stay safe on your Mac since none of the audio goes to the cloud.

Transcrybe features
Present without language barriers
If you’re speaking to an international group, Transcrybe bridges the gap. It overlays live subtitles directly onto your presentation, letting non-native speakers follow along in their own language. The app currently supports over 20 languages, with more to come.
Understand everyone in meetings
Keeping up with virtual meetings can be challenging, especially if you’re not fluent in a foreign language. Transcrybe catches everything being said in real time, so you can follow along during Zoom or Teams calls. It helps you concentrate and makes sure you don’t miss important info, even when the chat gets fast-paced.
Capture audio from any app
Transcrybe lets you capture and translate audio from any app or microphone, without being tied to a specific service. Whether you’re checking out a German Minecraft stream or a Japanese tech demo, you’ll get clear translations of the audio right away.
Secure your sensitive data
Most translation tools send your data to a server, but Transcrybe doesn’t. It uses Whisper Parakeet, and Apple’s own framework to do the heavy lifting locally. This means you get lightning-fast results without worrying about AI companies or hackers eavesdropping on your sensitive audio.

Appreciate the feedback, I'll see if there are some optimizations I can make there. Just to clarify, are you seeing battery drain while the app is sitting idle, or only when it's in use? It should not use any battery while it's sitting idle. Feel free to reach out to me at [email protected]!
