The problem
Most transcription services want your conversations
Private meetings, interviews and patient notes end up on someone else's server, billed by the minute.
Your meeting on their server
Online transcription means uploading confidential calls, interviews and client conversations to a company you have never met.
A bot in every call
Note-taking bots join your meetings as an extra guest, and everyone on the call has to wonder where the recording goes.
Monthly minutes that run out
Plans count your minutes. One long workshop or a week of interviews and you are paying for the next tier.
Who said that?
Plain speech-to-text gives you a wall of words with no idea who was speaking, so you sort it out by ear.
Hours of typing it up
Writing a transcript by hand takes several times longer than the recording, and the notes still have to be written after.
Exports that need fixing
Text arrives without times, speakers or formatting, ready for another hour of copying into Word.
Vow Audio and Meeting Transcriber fixes all of it.

Features
Everything a transcription service does, minus the cloud

Whisper AI accuracy
Whisper Large v3 Turbo by default, 99 languages detected by themselves, a vocabulary for names and jargon, and noise clean-up.
Speakers found for you
Voice prints tell people apart automatically, or set the number. Name a speaker once and that voice is recognised in later transcripts.
Record meetings
Records your microphone and the PC's sound apart, so your words are told from everyone else's, with live words as people speak.
A word-synced editor
The word being said lights up, click any word to hear it, and edits keep every unchanged word's time. Doubtful words are underlined.
AI meeting notes
Summary, decisions, action items with owners, chapters, follow-up emails and more, written on your PC, with clickable times.
Ask the transcript
Ask anything about a long recording and get an answer that points to the exact moments it came from.

Listening, speakers and notes all run on your own PC. Your audio is never uploaded and no bot ever joins your calls.
Light and dark theme
Switch between a bright paper look and a dark carbon look with one click in the sidebar, or let it follow Windows.
Light & dark theme
Easy on the eyes, day or night.
Audio Transcriber comes with a crisp light theme and a calm dark theme. Switch with one click, or let it follow your Windows setting by itself. It remembers your choice.

FAQ
Questions about Audio Transcriber
Is Vow Audio and Meeting Transcriber free?
Yes. You can transcribe 60 minutes of audio every day for free, with every feature: speakers, meeting recording with live words, AI notes and every export. Recording, editing and exporting are never limited. Unlimited, a one-time $9.95 USD payment, removes the daily minutes.
Does it upload my recordings?
No. Transcription, speaker detection and the AI notes run on your own PC. The models download once on first use; after that it works with no internet. Cloud AI services such as Claude or OpenAI are only used for notes if you add your own key and choose them.
Can it record Zoom, Teams or Google Meet calls?
Yes. Meeting mode records your microphone and the PC's sound at the same time, kept apart, so your words are told from everyone else's. No bot joins the call. Ctrl+Alt+R starts and stops it from any app.
How does it know who is speaking?
It builds a voice print for each speaker and groups what they said, automatically or for a number of people you set. Rename Speaker 2 to a name and that voice is recognised in later transcripts.
What happens when a file is longer than my free minutes?
It transcribes up to the free minutes you have left today. The rest waits, marked as a part, and is added with tomorrow's minutes, or at once with Unlimited.
How fast is it?
On a fast graphics card, many times faster than real time: the developer measured 10 minutes of audio, including speakers, in 9.7 seconds on an RTX 5090. It also runs on NVIDIA, AMD and Intel graphics or on the processor alone, more slowly.
Which languages and formats does it handle?
It understands 99 languages and can translate speech to English. It opens MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4, MOV and other audio and video files, and exports Word, PDF, text, Markdown, web page, SRT, WebVTT, JSON and CSV.
Is it safe to install?
Yes. It is made and published by XTO Pty Ltd, an Australian company. The installer contains no ads, no toolbars and no bundled software, needs no administrator rights, and uninstalls cleanly from Windows Settings.
