Questions

Is my recording uploaded anywhere?

No. It stays on your computer, and your browser blocks the page's code from connecting to any other server.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs in your browser on Windows, Mac, Linux and ChromeOS, even on locked-down work laptops.

Is there a time limit or a sign-up?

No. No account, no email, no card, no limit. Your computer does the work.

How accurate is it?

In English, about 91% of the words it writes are right, on hard audio with four people talking over each other. Switch on Accuracy and it is about 93%. It misses words when people talk at once.

How long does it take?

In English, text starts within 10 seconds, and a whole hour takes 7 to 30 minutes, depending on your computer.

Which languages does it support?

English, Spanish, Italian and Swedish. Choose the language before you transcribe. It can label who is speaking, in meetings and phone calls.

Is there a private alternative to NotebookLM or Otter?

Yes, this is one. It transcribes on your computer, so nothing is uploaded.
