Scriber Pro

Scriber Pro is a transcription app for macOS that converts audio and video to text using a local Whisper speech model. Everything runs on the user's Mac, so files are not uploaded to a cloud service, and the app works without an internet connection. The vendor emphasizes speed and long files. It claims a 4.5 hour video can be transcribed in about 3.5 minutes, with timecodes that stay accurate whether a file runs five minutes or five hours, and says there is no upload limit of the kind imposed by online services. It accepts common formats including MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, AAC, MP4 and MOV. Transcripts can be exported as SRT, VTT, JSON, CSV, TXT, RTF, Markdown, PDF and DOCX. A library with categories, favorites and search organizes past transcripts, and optional iCloud sync keeps devices in step. It suits journalists, researchers, podcasters and anyone handling sensitive recordings who wants transcription kept on their own hardware. It needs macOS 15.6 or later, with Apple silicon or Intel, and the vendor recommends 8GB of RAM. The app is distributed through the Mac App Store as a one time purchase with no subscription or usage limits, according to the vendor. The price is not shown on the vendor's site and is set on the App Store listing.
