Local, Offline, and Secure Transcription for Any Application

What is xcribe?

xcribe enables users to transcribe speech to text directly on their device, ensuring data privacy and security by keeping all processes offline.

With xcribe, users can easily search and manage their transcriptions for future reuse, even when not connected to the internet. The absence of ads, tracking, and server-side processing guarantees that sensitive information remains local and confidential at all times.
