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.

  • Translate meetings or any other audio in real time

  • Subtitle live presentations and keynotes

  • Understand foreign podcasts and news streams

  • Process your data 100% on-device

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.

    Je suis vraiment désolé que cela n’ait pas fonctionné pour vous. Cela donne l’impression qu’il y avait probablement un problème de configuration. Si vous pouvez me contacter à [email protected], je serais ravi de vous aider à comprendre ce qui ne va pas.

    Poxa gente. Até falei direto com o desenvolvedor. Mesmo no Mac M2, o processamento da I.A é feita internamente. Mas ela está lenta demaia. Em todas as línguas. Vamos aguardar uma atualização. Ele é muito gemte boa.

    Você já tentou ativar a opção “Live Translations” nas configurações? Isso traduz enquanto você fala, mas algumas pessoas não gostam porque a tradução fica sendo atualizada o tempo todo.

    App version: 2.10

    La traducción es muy lenta, y se requieren créditos cuyo costo es exagerado para la facilidad que debería brindar en su función. No la recomiendo

    Lamento que hayas tenido una mala experiencia con la aplicación. Me confunde un poco la mención de créditos o tokens, ya que Transcrybe funciona completamente en el dispositivo y no utiliza ningún sistema de créditos ni traducción externa. La traducción debería ser muy rápida, así que parece que algo no está funcionando como debería. Si quieres, puedes escribirme a [email protected] y con gusto te ayudaré a averiguar qué está pasando.
