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
TexTab is a productivity application designed for macOS that empowers users to convert AI-driven tasks into instant keyboard shortcuts, facilitating efficient text processing and automation without the need to switch between different applications. It functions at the system level, allowing users to highlight text in any macOS program, such as web browsers, email clients, coding environments, and documents, and execute AI actions with just one keystroke, streamlining tasks like translation, summarization, rewriting, or formalization into easily accessible commands. Users have the flexibility to create an unlimited number of customized AI actions, each with its distinct shortcut, and can connect to various AI providers—including OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Perplexity, or OpenRouter—using their personal API keys, ensuring that their data remains confidential and expenses are managed effectively; the API requests are sent directly to the provider without routing through TexTab’s servers. Additionally, the application boasts features such as a one-click AI prompt enhancer, built-in plugins like a pop-up AI chat, a QR code generator, an image converter, and a color picker, all designed to enhance user experience and productivity. This comprehensive suite of tools makes TexTab an invaluable asset for anyone looking to leverage AI capabilities seamlessly within their workflow.
