Description
Aiko is an AI transcription app from Sindre Sorhus that helps users convert audio into text on macOS, iOS, and visionOS. The app is powered by OpenAI’s Whisper model and runs transcription locally on the user’s device. This on-device approach makes Aiko well suited for private meetings, lectures, interviews, voice notes, and sensitive recordings. On macOS, Aiko uses the Whisper large v2 model, while iOS uses the medium or small model depending on available device memory. The app supports Shortcuts, giving users flexible ways to record, transcribe, copy results, create subtitles, save text, or connect transcripts to other workflows. Users can transcribe from Finder on macOS, record and transcribe from iPhone shortcuts, or build custom workflows that pass transcripts into apps like Notes or ChatGPT. Aiko includes a free 14-day TestFlight trial with full app access and no auto-charges. Older macOS versions are available for users on macOS 13, 14, and 15. By combining local Whisper transcription, Apple platform support, privacy, and Shortcuts automation, Aiko gives users a simple way to turn speech into text.
Description
Gemini 3.5 Transcribe represents Google’s most advanced speech-to-text technology to date, tailored for sophisticated voice interactions and immediate transcription. Rather than merely translating speech into text, it converts raw audio into polished, precise, and well-structured text, effectively managing background noise, intricate terminology, various accents, dialects, and natural speech rhythms. Its intelligent transcription capabilities automatically account for self-corrections, eliminate filler words like “ums” and “ahs,” and present the final output in an easily readable format. This model offers continuous bidirectional streaming with sub-second response times, making it ideal for interactive voice applications, alongside the ability to process pre-recorded audio for meetings, call logs, and other recordings while ensuring speaker attribution and word-level timestamps. Additionally, its custom vocabulary feature enables the recognition of specialized terms, unique spellings, postal codes, order IDs, and other industry-specific language, enhancing its versatility for various use cases. As a result, Gemini 3.5 Transcribe stands out as a powerful tool for anyone seeking high-quality transcription services.
