Updates:
I’ve started a video with audio so you can test the real-time transcription. I specifically chose a clip with clear English, and some with significant background noise and multiple speakers to see how the system performs under pressure.

Problem:
Transcription is still mostly after-the-fact. You record first, then wait for processing before you can read meetings or live conversations, this means you’re always a step behind.
Comparison:
Most tools today, don’t support real-time transcription, or have noticeable delays, or only work inside specific meeting platforms.
Real-time workflows are still surprisingly limited.
The Solution:
TranscribeX delivers true real-time transcription across your entire Mac.
It works not just for recordings, but for meetings and any app with audio output — capturing system audio and turning speech into text instantly as it happens.
No waiting, no post-processing — just live text while you listen.
The current models support English and 20+ European languages, with more languages coming soon.
Real-time translation is also planned for future updates.
TranscribeX is a privacy-focused macOS app that transcribes audio/video locally using Whisper, Distilled Whisper, NVIDIA Parakeet, Apple Foundation Models, and now Qwen models. It also supports YouTube downloading, diarization, segment editing, and exports like TXT/PDF/SRT/VTT — all without sending your files to the cloud.
