New macOS & iOS app:
Aiko — High-quality on-device transcription
Easily convert speech to text from meetings, lectures, and more.
The app is free and requires macOS 13. It supports audio in 100 different languages. And it is powered by OpenAI's Whisper model running locally on your device. The audio never leaves your device.
Tip: You can drag and drop a memo from the Voice Memos app directly into the app to transcribe. Or, on iOS, share the memo to Aiko using the share sheet.
@sindresorhus It also requires an iPhone XS/XR or newer we should add to say.
Looks cool! I’ll definitely try it on my Mac!
@sindresorhus This sounds like exactly what I need! If I could run it. Do you know if anyone has made a tool like this for Linux? Or do you have plans to do that yourself?
