QuickScribe
Fast transcription without leaving your Mac
QuickScribe turns YouTube videos, local files, and live microphone recordings into readable transcripts on your Mac, without sending your content to a web service.
Private by default
Processing happens locally on your Mac, so your transcripts stay on your device and you keep full control over your recordings and files.
Edit and clean up transcripts quickly
Clean up the generated transcript quickly so it is ready for notes, summaries, research, or sharing.
Built for YouTube links
Paste a YouTube link and get a transcript without jumping through extra tools or browser extensions.
Also works with files and live recording
Transcribe files already on your Mac, or record directly from your microphone when you want to capture something live.
Export
Export transcripts as text and keep the original recordings saved locally on disk.
Terms of service and privacy
QuickScribe does not store or collect any information. All processing and transcription happen locally on your Mac. AI models are downloaded once and stored locally.
