ScribeZapp combines research-grade AI models with a clean Windows interface — everything runs locally, privately, with no usage limits.
ScribeZapp uses the most accurate open-source transcription stack available — the same models used by enterprise cloud providers, running on your own hardware.
CTranslate2-optimised version of OpenAI Whisper. INT8 quantised for fast CPU inference without sacrificing accuracy.
Adds forced alignment and word-level timestamps to Whisper output. Enables accurate speaker diarization tied to exact word boundaries.
Speaker diarization pipeline bundled locally — no Hugging Face account needed. Automatically labels who spoke when.
All models run entirely on your CPU using CTranslate2 INT8 quantisation. A modern Intel/AMD 64-bit processor is all you need — no GPU, no CUDA, no special hardware.
Most transcription tools require you to upload audio to a cloud service to get speaker labels. ScribeZapp bundles the diarization models directly — no Hugging Face account, no internet connection needed at runtime.
Everything runs on your machine. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Pro adds the professional workflow on top of Core — anonymize, summarize, export, and translate, all without leaving your machine.
ScribeZapp automatically scans your transcript for names, emails, phone numbers, and other identifying information and replaces them with placeholders. Restore the original values (deanonymize) any time, entirely on your machine.
Send your anonymized transcript to the AI assistant you already use — Claude, ChatGPT, or another — and get back a summary, key decisions, and action items. Names are restored automatically once the result comes back to your machine.
Export a properly formatted Word document with speaker labels and timestamps, or a anonymized PDF with PII removed — ready to share externally without manual cleanup.
Transcribe a recording in one language and translate the transcript into another — fully offline, powered by the same CTranslate2 engine behind Langzapp's document translation.
Teach ScribeZapp your domain's jargon — legal terms, medical terminology, product names — for more accurate transcription on specialized recordings.
Automatically identify who spoke when, fully offline. See the dedicated section above for details.
How AI Summary stays private: ScribeZapp anonymizes your transcript locally before anything is sent anywhere. The connection to your AI assistant happens from your own machine, using your own access — ScribeZapp does not operate or have visibility into that connection. When the result comes back, names are restored locally using your machine's anonymization map.

Standard subtitle format. Drop directly into video editors like Premiere, DaVinci, or Final Cut.
WebVTT format for web video. Compatible with HTML5 video players and YouTube caption uploads.
Structured transcript with full timing, confidence scores, and speaker data. For developers and custom workflows.
A properly formatted Word document with speaker labels and timestamps — ready to edit or share.
An anonymized PDF with PII removed, ready to share externally without manual cleanup.
Cloud transcription services require you to upload your audio to their servers — where it may be stored, reviewed, or used to train AI models. ScribeZapp is fundamentally different.
Zero network requests during transcription.
OpenAI Whisper supports virtually every major language. ScribeZapp gives you access to all of them — without sending a single audio byte to OpenAI's servers.
All 99+ Whisper-supported languages work with the same download. Language detection is automatic — ScribeZapp can detect the language from the audio if you don't specify one.
Free forever. Pro from $19/year — 30-day free trial, no credit card required.
