Offline Audio Transcription for Mac
Drop recordings into a private local library, transcribe them on your Mac and export clean text or subtitles. No upload wait, account or command-line model setup required.
Step by Step
Transcribe Files on Mac
Three steps, about a minute, zero uploads.
1
Import one file or a batch
Select MP3, M4A, WAV, AIFF or CAF audio files together. Pro can also extract and transcribe audio from supported video files.
2
Process locally on your Mac
VoiceMaster runs speech recognition on-device and keeps the transcript linked to the original recording by timestamp.
3
Edit and export
Review text against audio, identify speakers, then export plain text, Markdown, SRT, WebVTT or JSON.
Highlights
Why VoiceMaster
Private on-device transcription with pro-grade output.
Queue multiple existing recordings instead of processing files one by one online.
Confidential client calls and research audio stay on your Mac.
Remove transcription limits with a one-time purchase instead of another subscription.
Local Mac Transcription Without the Terminal
Mac users can run speech models themselves, but installing dependencies, choosing model builds and managing command-line jobs is unnecessary overhead when the real task is reviewing a recording. VoiceMaster wraps local AI transcription in a native interface with recording, import, playback, editing, search and export in one place.
The transcript is not separated from its evidence. Each segment is timestamped and opens the corresponding audio when clicked, making it fast to verify names, quotes and decisions. Speaker labels and bookmarks stay attached when you organize a growing library of meetings, podcasts and interviews.
Built for Long Recordings and Repeated Work
Desktop transcription often starts with a folder of files rather than one short memo. Batch import lets you bring multiple audio recordings into VoiceMaster, and Pro video import extracts the speech track without a separate conversion utility. Exports cover human-readable Markdown and text as well as SRT, WebVTT and structured JSON.
You can begin with 120 free minutes per month and no account. Pro removes transcription time and file-length limits. For researchers, journalists and creators who transcribe regularly, the lifetime option turns VoiceMaster into unlimited Mac transcription software without a recurring plan.
