About

Auritype

Features
Read full description

Turn audio and video into a searchable, navigable transcript — entirely on your Mac. Auritype transcribes locally using Whisper, accelerated by Apple Silicon, so nothing you record or import is ever uploaded to a server. ON-DEVICE TRANSCRIPTION Import an audio or video file and Auritype transcribes it right on your Mac, with word-level timestamps. No internet connection required once your transcription model is downloaded, no account, no cloud processing. A TRANSCRIPT THAT FOLLOWS ALONG The waveform and transcript scroll together as you play — the current word highlights in real time. Click any word in the transcript to jump playback straight there. Getting to the exact moment has never been this direct. SEARCH THAT FINDS IT Search inside a single recording, or across your entire library at once. Results are ranked by how many times a term appears, and every hit jumps straight to the moment it was said — no more scrubbing through an hour of audio to find one line. CLIP EXPORT Select a range on the waveform or in the transcript and export it as its own audio file — losslessly, where the source format allows it. Perfect for pulling a quote, a soundbite, or a highlight out of a longer recording. BOOKMARKS & PLAYBACK SEQUENCES Mark the moments that matter as you go, then play your bookmarks back in order — with looping — instead of re-scrubbing the whole recording every time you want to revisit them. BUILT FOR REAL RECORDINGS Import interviews, meetings, lectures, podcasts, voice memos, or video with dialogue. Auritype handles a wide range of audio and video formats and keeps your waveform and transcript in sync even with tricky source files. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No analytics. No tracking. Your recordings and transcripts stay on your device — full stop. The only network activity Auritype ever makes is an optional transcription-model download you choose to trigger, and a small signed check on launch to keep the free-tier allowance current; neither ever includes your audio or transcripts. SIMPLE PRICING Auritype is free to use, with a generous amount of audio you can transcribe at no cost. A one-time "Unlimited" purchase removes that limit, forever — no subscription. Requires macOS 14 or later.
