Vocal Notes
Private, on-device transcription for Mac
Private, local transcription for Apple Silicon Macs. Record or import audio/video, review with synced playback, add custom vocabulary, use Quick Dictation anywhere, organize and merge transcripts, and more. No cloud uploads or minute limits.
I built Vocal Notes because I wanted transcription to behave like a Mac tool, not an upload portal. The recognition work runs locally on Apple Silicon, and the transcript stays linked to the original recording so names, numbers, and quotes are easy to verify. It also handles file imports, custom vocabulary, folders, merging, Markdown export, and a global Quick Dictation window. One time payment with no recurring plan or transcription-minute limit. I would especially value feedback on the review workflow and the balance between a full transcript library and lightweight dictation.
