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!

That was back in 2023. I assume things work better now.

Also the Whisper model doesn't really have a context window, it already segments the audio with a certain amount of overlap between the chunks, I really have a hard time understanding what you are trying to say here.

Would also love to hear what you mean by “smart invisible regex,” sounds like AI slop to me.

Neither whisper nor MacWhisper have any context limit

This is not true. (I've been a MacWhisper user since 2023. I have two bugs during that time, which the author addressed quickly.)

I've never heard a regex person speak this way of a regex.
Please tell me you didn't vibecode the regex... one of the areas it's still not good at
