## What is simple.STT?

simpleSTT turns audio and video into clean, accurate text using the world's best AI — and it sends your audio straight to them: OpenAI, Google and ElevenLabs. Never an unknown server. Never an unnamed model.

Do one thing. Do it well.
No bloat. No account. No detours for your data. Pick a file, choose a model, get your transcript.

GOES ONLY TO THE AI YOU TRUST
• Your audio is sent directly to OpenAI, Google or ElevenLabs — the world's most trusted AI labs
• Never routed through an unknown server, never handed to an unnamed model
• No simpleSTT server in the middle — it's device-to-provider, with your own API key
• Transcripts are stored locally on your device

PAY ONCE — THEN JUST CENTS
• Buy the app once for lifetime access — no subscription required
• After that you pay only your provider's API rate: usually just cents per recording
• State-of-the-art transcription without a state-of-the-art monthly bill

WORLD-CLASS MODELS — YOUR CHOICE
• OpenAI GPT-4o Transcribe & Whisper
• Google Gemini 3.5 Flash & 3.1 Pro
• ElevenLabs Scribe v2 & v1
Switch models per job and always know exactly which one ran.

BUILT FOR REAL WORK
• Audio and video: M4A, MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, MP4, MOV and more
• Large recordings handled with smart splitting
• Parallel processing for faster results
• Automatic language detection, or pin a specific language
• Custom prompts for vocabulary, formatting and summaries
• Adjustable temperature for fine-grained control
• Full-text search across all transcripts — find any word in titles or text, highlighted instantly

WHO IT'S FOR
Journalists, researchers, students, lawyers, doctors, therapists, podcasters — and anyone who'd rather read than re-listen.

REQUIRES YOUR OWN API KEY
To transcribe, add your own OpenAI, Google or ElevenLabs API key in Settings. You pay your provider directly for what you use — usually just a few cents per recording.

Do one thing. Do it well. That's simpleSTT.
