Why Transkribe

Everything runs on your machine.

Your files stay private. No uploads. No accounts. Just fast, local transcription.

100% Offline

All processing happens on your PC. Your files never leave your computer — no cloud dependency, no privacy concerns.

Local Files & URLs

Transcribe audio and video files from your drive, or paste a URL from a source you own the rights to download.

Only use URLs from sources you have the right to download. Streaming platforms such as YouTube, Netflix, and TikTok prohibit downloading.

Export to TXT, SRT, VTT

Get your transcript ready for documents, subtitles, or captions. Export in standard formats that work everywhere.

Multiple Whisper Models

Choose from Small to Large v3 depending on your speed and accuracy needs. The right model for every job.

No sign-up. No internet after initial model download.

FAQ

Questions you might have.

Does it work without internet?
Yes. After you download the Whisper model once, Transkribe runs fully offline. No internet connection is required for transcription — your files never leave your computer.
What file formats are supported?
Transkribe supports MP3, MP4, WAV, M4A, OGG, WEBM, and most common audio and video formats. If your file plays locally, Transkribe can likely transcribe it.
Is the $29 a one-time payment?
Yes. The Premium tier is a single $29 payment — no recurring fees, no subscription, no hidden costs. You own the software and all future updates for your version.
Does it work on Linux?
Yes. Transkribe is available for both Windows and Linux. We test on Ubuntu 22.04+, Fedora 38+, and Debian 12+. Both platforms receive the same features and model support.
