Advanced Customization
Fine-tune hotkeys, UI layout, filler word removal, and number normalization.
Tier Comparison
The Free tier transcribes 100% offline and never requires an account or internet connection to work. During the beta, signing in additionally upgrades you to Pro at no cost - it’s entirely optional. The 5 second-5 minute recording length is a user-configurable setting (Settings -> Recording -> Max duration), identical on every tier - it is not a usage cap, and transcriptions themselves are unlimited on all tiers. Recording simply auto-stops and transcribes at that length so a single clip can’t exhaust your GPU’s memory.
What Happens After Beta
Once the beta period ends:- Pro becomes a paid subscription (monthly or annual)
- Free tier remains 100% offline for transcription and unlimited, no account required, forever
- Your account and settings carry over seamlessly if you signed in for Pro
- Every account then starts a fresh 14-day Pro trial - the trial doesn’t run during beta, since beta users already have Pro, so you get the full 14 days once beta ends
All voice processing remains 100% local regardless of tier. Your audio never leaves your machine.
