Live Transcription That Runs Entirely on Your Device

Live segments appear while you record. Pause and resume freely, and drop bookmarks with notes at key moments.

When you stop, VoiceMaster finalizes the complete transcript with timestamps, ready to edit, search and export.

Real-Time Speech to Text Without Streaming Audio

Most live transcription services stream your microphone to a server and send text back. That only works with a solid connection, and it means every word of a live conversation passes through someone else’s infrastructure as it happens. When the network drops, so does the transcript.

VoiceMaster runs live transcription on the device itself. Audio goes from the microphone to a local speech model and straight onto your screen. Nothing is streamed, which makes it dependable on flights, in rural areas and in buildings with poor reception — and private by design.

Who Uses Live Transcription

Students follow lectures and mark exam-relevant moments with bookmarks. Journalists capture interviews and see quotes appear while the conversation continues. Writers dictate drafts and ideas while walking. People who find it easier to read than to listen use live text to keep up with talks and discussions.

When the recording stops, the live view becomes a complete, timestamped transcript stored in your local library. Edit it, label speakers with Pro, and export Markdown, timestamped text, SRT, WebVTT or JSON.
