Local first
From voice to text, with fewer steps.
BabelVoice is built around one flow: open, capture, and turn audio into text on device. It prioritizes local processing, does not upload user recordings or voice audio, and keeps model downloads, copy actions, and export feedback in context.
Local recording
Record directly on device. Finished clips appear at the top of the list for fast meeting, class, and idea capture.
Audio import
Bring existing audio into BabelVoice, then manage, play, transcribe, and export it from one place.
Offline transcription
Use Apple on-device recognition or WhisperKit local models. First-use downloads show progress on the current recording page, and transcription is designed to stay on device whenever possible.
Local storage
Successful transcripts are stored locally and restored when you reopen the app. They update only when you transcribe again.
Quick copy
Copy the whole transcript from the detail page and get a light confirmation without losing context.
Flexible export
Export TXT, SRT, and VTT for notes, subtitles, archives, and editing workflows.
A complete path for every recording.
The interface keeps users in context: the list stays light, while downloads and transcript results live on the recording detail page.
01
Record or import
Start from the main record button or import existing audio from the top-right action.
02
Choose a model
WhisperKit Tiny is the default. When users switch models, BabelVoice remembers the latest choice.
03
Transcribe
If the model is not ready, the detail page shows download progress before transcription continues.
04
Copy or export
Text stays local, can be copied anytime, and exports into common text and subtitle formats.
Built for local audio notes.
Use BabelVoice for meeting transcription, class notes, interviews, quick ideas, and subtitle files without sending voice content to our servers.
Meetings and interviews
Record discussions, transcribe locally when possible, then copy the transcript for summaries, follow-ups, or research notes.
Classes and lectures
Import or record longer audio, keep transcripts on device, and export text for study notes or archives.
Voice memos and subtitles
Capture ideas fast, turn speech into text, and export TXT, SRT, or VTT for writing, editing, and caption workflows.
Privacy first by design.
BabelVoice is designed for local voice notes. Recordings, imported audio, voice content, and transcripts stay on device by default. Model files download as needed. We do not upload your recordings, voice audio, or transcripts for product analytics.
