Transcribe

On-device

Transcribe audio and video into text for free, entirely on your device. Arabic (تفريغ صوتي عربي) is the tool's focus and is fully supported, but clear, close-to-standard speech transcribes far better than dialect — expect to correct a dialectal or noisy recording. Upload a file or record from your microphone, get timestamped captions you can edit right on your device, then export as TXT, SRT, or VTT. No uploads, no account — and it keeps working offline once the model has downloaded once.

About this tool

What you provide

  • An audio or video file, or a recording made with your microphone.
  • The spoken language, and a model size: tiny, base or small.

What you get

  • A timestamped transcript you can play back and edit line by line.
  • An export as TXT, SRT or VTT.

Limits

  • The model downloads once before the first run — 41 MB (tiny), 80 MB (base) or 249 MB (small).
  • Arabic is noticeably more accurate with the small model, which is a much larger download and much slower on phones.
  • Dialect, background noise and phone-quality audio come out much rougher than clear, close-to-standard speech — expect to correct the transcript.
  • Everything runs on your device, so speed depends on it; without WebGPU it falls back to a slower compatibility engine.

How to use it

  1. Add your audio

    On the Upload file tab, drop an audio or video file, or switch to the Record tab, record from your microphone and tap Use this recording.

  2. Choose model and language

    Pick Base, Tiny or Small (best Arabic), then set Language to the language actually spoken in the recording.

  3. Download the model

    Tap Download engine, whose label carries the size — 41 MB for Tiny, 80 MB for Base, 249 MB for Small — to fetch the chosen model once, after which it stays cached.

  4. Run the transcription

    Tap Transcribe and wait while the audio is processed on your device; the elapsed time is shown and timestamped lines appear when it finishes.

  5. Edit and export

    Tap a timestamp to play that line, correct the text in place, then export TXT, SRT or VTT, or use Copy transcript.
