Auritype

Transcribe and clip audio, entirely on your device.

Import a recording and Auritype turns it into a searchable, navigable transcript right on your Mac or iPhone — word-level timestamps, a waveform that scrolls with playback, and clip export. Nothing is uploaded, ever.

Everything you need to turn audio into text you can work with

🎙️

On-device transcription

Powered by Whisper, accelerated by Apple Silicon. Your recording is transcribed right on your Mac or iPhone — it's never uploaded to a server, and you don't need an internet connection to do it.

📝

A transcript that follows along

The waveform and transcript scroll together as audio plays, with the current word highlighted in real time. Click any word to jump playback straight there.

🔍

Search that actually finds it

Search inside one recording, or across your whole library at once — results are ranked by how many times they appear, and every hit jumps straight to the moment it was said.

✂️

Clip export

Select a range on the waveform or in the transcript and export it as its own audio clip — losslessly, where the source format allows it.

🔖

Bookmarks & playback sequences

Mark the moments that matter, then play your bookmarks back in order — with looping — instead of scrubbing through the whole recording again.

🔒

Private by default

No account, no analytics, nothing tracked. Your audio and transcripts stay on your device unless you personally choose to export or share them.

Private by design

Transcription, search, and clip export all happen locally — your recordings and transcripts are never sent to a server. The only network activity the app ever makes is an optional Whisper model download you choose to trigger, and a small signed check on launch to keep your free-tier allowance current — neither ever includes your audio or transcripts.
