On-device audio transcription for meetings, lectures, and voice memos, powered by local Whisper.
Best for
People who record meetings or lectures and want transcripts without uploading audio.
Why it deserves attention
Aiko runs Whisper locally on Mac, iPhone, and Vision Pro, so recordings never leave the device. Drag in an audio or video file and it produces a transcript with timestamps, speaker labels, and export options, and Shortcuts support makes it scriptable. It supports 100 languages and has been maintained since 2023 by Sindre Sorhus, with no data collection. It costs $24 once after a trial and is transcription-only, not a dictation keyboard.
