Models download on first use. A loaded model is reused; change model or processing mode to release it.

Document edits apply to copied text and TXT. Subtitles and JSON preserve the original timed transcription.
Processing details
Timestamps are model estimates. Total RAM and GPU memory are not available to this page; use your browser’s task manager.
Arabic uses a dedicated model with about 1.33 GB of weights and CPU/WASM processing. The first run may take several minutes. General model and GPU choices do not change the Arabic model.
Before you start
Each SRT cue has a sequence number, a start and end time, and text. Times use hours, minutes, seconds and comma-separated milliseconds. The download is a separate text file; your source video is unchanged.
A workflow that fits your file
After transcription, select Subtitles and Download SRT. Import the result into an editor or compatible player. Check timing, reading speed and names before publishing; timestamps are estimates.
Review and use the result
SRT keeps the original timed words even if you correct the readable document. If you need corrected captions, edit the exported SRT in a subtitle editor. Missing-time segments are omitted rather than given invented timestamps.
What does an SRT cue look like?
An SRT cue has a sequential number, two times with comma-separated milliseconds, then its text. The sample below is an illustration, not a generated result. To create your own file, select media, transcribe and download SRT. Only segments with usable start and end times enter the timed export; omitted untimed text remains available in the readable transcript and JSON.
Use the subtitle workflow to review the timing. If your destination expects an HTML video track, compare WebVTT export. Changing format does not recognize the audio again and does not import your readable-text corrections.

Hello, Maya.How it works
Choose a recording
Open an audio or video file. We check its audio track in your browser.
Transcribe on your device
Choose the spoken language or Auto Detect. Allow the required model to load.
Review, then export
Listen back to important passages, edit your text and download the format you need.
Your recording never needs to leave your device.
Speech recognition and text checking run locally. The website and model files still need network access. Hosting and model providers can receive ordinary connection information; they do not receive your recording through this tool.
Understand local processingQuestions, answered
Does my recording get uploaded?
No. The browser reads and transcribes it locally. Website assets and model downloads use the network separately.
Can I use it offline?
A model already loaded in an open page can be reused offline. Reloading, switching models or clearing storage may require network access.
Will text corrections change my subtitles?
No. Copy Text and TXT use the selected document version. SRT, VTT and JSON keep the original timed transcription.
