TransScriber

Transcribe audio and video without sending it anywhere

The TransScriber window with a drop zone reading “Drop audio or video files here”, a queue, and a Start Transcription button.

Drag in audio or video, get SRT subtitles back. Transcription runs entirely on your machine against a local Whisper model, so there are no API costs, no upload, and no limit on how sensitive the recording is.

It was built to work through a personal archive of family audio tapes from the 1970s, which is why it is built around batches and refuses to let one bad file halt the run. A failure is isolated to its own file and the queue keeps going.

Music regions are detected and tagged in the output rather than transcribed into nonsense.

What it does

  • Drag-and-drop batch transcription, audio and video
  • High-accuracy English via faster-whisper (medium.en)
  • Fully offline: no API keys, no upload, no cost per minute
  • Music regions detected and tagged [MUSIC]
  • Per-file and overall progress with ETA, cancellable
  • One bad file never halts the batch
