Vid2txt

Vid2txt is a desktop utility that transcribes video and audio files entirely offline. The user drags a file onto the app and it generates .txt, .srt and .vtt transcripts. Supported inputs include mp4, mov, wmv, mkv, avi, flv, wav, mp3 and m4a. Because processing happens locally, the vendor positions it as a way to avoid subscriptions, usage quotas and sharing files with a cloud service. It is aimed at people who need straightforward, private transcription and subtitle files, such as video editors, podcasters, journalists and researchers, and who prefer a one time purchase to a recurring plan. The vendor describes it as a focused utility that does one thing, with unlimited transcriptions and no hidden fees once bought. The home page also states a guarantee that if the app does not work, the buyer does not pay. Pricing is a single one time purchase, shown on the home page as $10 and labeled as available for a limited time with no end date given. There is no separate pricing page and no subscription tier is published. The vendor does not state the supported operating systems or the speech model behind the transcription on the home page.
