Inscribe: Local Transcriptions

New: capture system audio to transcribe any app. Ask questions across your whole library, get answers with citations. Recordings stay on your device.

Record a meeting, lecture, or interview and watch the text appear as people talk. Your audio and transcripts are not uploaded anywhere to be processed.

Recording, transcription, summaries, speaker labels, and Q&A run 100% on your device. There is no cloud transcription provider, so the work happens locally and keeps going with no internet. No account to create. Optional iCloud sync is off by default.

Inscribe turns audio, video, and documents into searchable text you can question and summarize on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
