User Reviews

Hello Transcribe is praised for on-device privacy, a no-subscription model, high accuracy, and fast performance on Apple Silicon with offline model options. The main repeated drawbacks are real-time limitations due to chunking, risk of losing transcripts without auto-save, and occasional stability issues after updates or idle use. Overall, users value privacy, cost, and speed, but want improved reliability and autosave for long-form transcription.

Pros

On-device privacy and local transcription (no cloud processing)
No subscriptions and a one-time Pro purchase option
High transcription accuracy (Whisper-based)
Fast performance on Apple Silicon devices (e.g., iPad Pro M2) with efficient resource use
Offline model options and ability to choose model size for speed/accuracy

Cons

Not truly real-time; transcription chunks audio into segments (e.g., 30s) which can cause gaps and odd line breaks
Transcripts can be lost or not auto-saved (need auto-recovery/recovery features)
Occasional stability issues after updates or idle usage that can wipe data or make the app unusable

Overall a good app, but could use some enhancements Pros... * transcribing is good * private/on device * no subscriptions * it can save with or without audio Cons... * transcribe is slow / not real time * no translation options found * no speak options found * transcribing window is too small * can't find a way to move sidebar out of view
