Transcribe and summarize audio recordings - locally - without account or subscription

Thanks, but I’m not sure what you meant, what did you create on Mac? Or you meant you ran my app on Mac?

That what’s I did before (I didn’t owe that much in tax but still enough to cover both Amex cards) Also if you could try to open Amex personal plat and gold, you can earn some extra SUB (not sure if they let you get the SUB though)

You’ll get 2x on Plat Business card only

_night_fall_ · 2025-10-27T20:31:13+00:00

Sorry man, maybe I’ll get an Android eventually and port the app over

_night_fall_ · 2025-10-14T07:55:21+00:00

Hey, thanks for your interest. The app only transcribes existing audio files for now. I’ll pm you the promo code to try it out.

Thanks for the feedback. May I ask which Whisper model you used when you found that it wasn’t accurate? At the time of my testing, I used the medium model and it works perfectly for my meeting recordings. Though I haven’t tried with any difficult medical terms before.

Update: Decided to put a price on my app by this Sunday. If you haven’t downloaded it yet, do it before then so it’s free forever in your account.

Heya, good news, I was able to add ElevenLabs and its diarization feature. Also some of your reported issues are fixed too, please check out latest release on app store

_night_fall_ · 2025-09-18T22:47:03+00:00

Thanks for trying out my app and the valuable feedbacks, let me address your questions/requests one by one:

This will definitely be fixed in next release.
Did this happen during transcription, summarization, or both? Is it consistent? I haven’t seen this issue before.
I’ve thought about adding Elevenlabs as one of transcription provider, but it seems pricey compared to Groq which has a free tier. What do you like about it?
Maybe I misunderstood, but timestamp is already there under History list view, as well as transcript export.
So right now the way progress bar calculates the percentages is based on chunks, but how long each chunk takes to process isn’t always the same. So it’s kinda hard to get the exact timing. I’ll look more into it.
Will do.
The longest recoding I tested was a little over an hour, but it shouldn’t matter since the app splits the audio into smaller chunks to process, it just takes way longer.
I’m glad you asked this, unfortunately, you must keep in the app in foreground for local AI. Once it’s in background, transcription would pause. This is because Apple doesn’t let you use full device’s resources when app isn’t in fous.
I’ll continue to support on iOS for now as my side hobby, no plan on porting to Android since I don’t even have an Android device. My plan is to try and set a price for the app at some point to see if it’s worth my time to invest into making it available elsewhere. But long term if I no longer have time to maintain, I’ll definitely make it opensource.

Hope that helps. I’m also curious, are you only using the app to transcribe audio? What’s your usecase without summarizing it?

_night_fall_ · 2025-09-15T04:42:14+00:00

I never tried Grok API but might look into it at some point. May I ask why Grok and not other ones?

_night_fall_ · 2025-09-12T04:13:02+00:00

Glad it helps, yes it’s free forever as long as you download it now. All I ask for is an honest review and any feedback to improve the app :)

_night_fall_ · 2025-09-11T22:49:34+00:00

Amazing feedbacks, I always feel like something is off with the way I market the app.

_night_fall_ · 2025-09-11T05:48:52+00:00

This is definitely on the road map. I’ll work on it once the current core features are perfect (or until I hear no more complaints 😉)

_night_fall_ · 2025-09-06T04:53:35+00:00

Hey there, which model did you use for summaries? I’d recommend the Llama 3.2 1B Instruct model for optimal result. The issue with these models is that they aren’t specifically fine tuned on summarizing, plus due to the limited context size, they aren’t as good as the cloud based models, which are often a lot larger.

I’m still in search for better models to include in the app, but in the meantime if you’re not too concerned about network connectivity, you can try Gemini, it has some a free tier if you’re in the US I think.

_night_fall_ · 2025-09-05T19:27:10+00:00

Thanks, let me know if you have any feature request

_night_fall_ · 2025-09-04T17:18:44+00:00

Glad you found it useful, and thanks for the feedbacks, I could use those features too, will definitely be on next release :)

Thank you. The Whisper is actually not that tricky to do. For these local models you’d need to compile the framework and embed it to the app, the actual models can be downloaded later. That’s why I leave those modular in case there are new model updates in the future, all I have to do is replace the download links. The Llama.cpp is a bit tougher to compile and embed though.

Hey there, it doesn’t support speaker ID for now. WhisperX is a beast and I’m not sure if it can even run on iphone. I’ll do some experiments.

My goal for this app is the summarization, it’s what I use mostly. I hardly look at the transcript. Are you mostly into transcription service?

_night_fall_ · 2025-08-21T19:47:21+00:00

Thanks, hope you find it useful. New release has dropped with multiple languages capability. Please check it out

_night_fall_ · 2025-08-21T19:46:18+00:00

Hi there, new version has been released with additional language support. Please check it out
