TranscribeX v6.0 — Live Transcription for Meetings & Recordings Is Finally Here. Fully local on-device.
Updates: I’ve started a video with audio so you can test the real-time transcription. I specifically chose a clip with clear English, and some with significant background noise and multiple speakers to see how the system performs under pressure. https://www.transcribex.io/captionvideowithaudio.mp4 Problem: Transcription is still mostly after-the-fact. You record first, then wait for processing before you can read meetings or live conversations, this means you’re always a step behind. Comparison: Most tools today, don’t support real-time transcription, or have noticeable delays, or only work inside specific meeting platforms. Real-time workflows are still surprisingly limited. The Solution: TranscribeX delivers true real-time transcription across your entire Mac. It works not just for recordings, but for meetings and any app with audio output — capturing system audio and turning speech into text instantly as it happens. No waiting, no post-processing — just live text while you listen. The current models support English and 20+ European languages, with more languages coming soon. Real-time translation is also planned for future updates. TranscribeX is a privacy-focused macOS app that transcribes audio/video locally using Whisper, Distilled Whisper, NVIDIA Parakeet, Apple Foundation Models, and now Qwen models. It also supports YouTube downloading, diarization, segment editing, and exports like TXT/PDF/SRT/VTT — all without sending your files to the cloud. Please view the changelog for the details.

Collected discussion
Since the video doesn't have audio, my question for you is how is response time ? Is it near instant, like television captions ?
Yup, it's near instant, like 99.99% instant. I will record a video with audio and put the link in the post soon.
This looks very cool! Mind adding a video with audio?
Sure. https://www.transcribex.io/captionvideowithaudio.mp4
Can you describe more the audio output part? Does that include earbuds?
How does this differ from BBRecorder.com?
Is there a trial for the pro version? I want to make sure speaker diarization works before committing to buying it.
Would you be making a feature to dictate and run mac commands on voice like fluid voice , if so it would be nice to buy this
what languages are supported?
What’s the difference between store version and website’s version?
I have this app, its truly amazing! I just tested the real-time feature..its super fast that I honestly cannot type faster than it..no delay at all on m1 pro max.. Actually I like the translation have the subtitle updating, is it possible to change the style (font, size, color, position) of it and let us to save it as mp4? Also is it possible to do real-time translation also?
I can only buy via App Store, what are the main limitations?
Does it work with all languages or just english?
Great job. How accurate are the various languages?
Does this support downloading YouTube videos without any copyright issues?
what are the stability improvements from v5.4 to this one? I got errors fairly often and sometimes caused by me closing laptop it would corrupt the file. Great updates tho so will definitely try again
Can't find language list
Phenomenal work. Just bought it, I hope you continue expanding the potential of this app and create many more great apps...kudos!
Thanks for the support. Feel free to reach out if you have any feature requests.
Does this have obsidian automatic export? Can you query the transcript live like granola .
This is awesome. Few questions for you: Can meetings on zoom and google meet be recorded and transcribed? Is there a mechanism through which you get consent for recording these meetings?
wait it supports 20+ languages with real-time transcription? hows the accuracy on non-english? every app i try claims multilingual support but its basically only usable in english
does it support custom vocabulary? Very often most of the speech to text app in the market can’t really get the technical terms right.
Do you think you could add the pyannote/speaker-diarization-3.1 model for diarization?
Yup, definitely. I already have speakers diarisation in the app. Just need to integrate it into the live transcription.
