Offline transcription studio for audio files and microphone recordings

Loudio turns speech into text entirely on your own machine. Audio never leaves your computer: transcription runs locally through whisper.cpp, with an OpenAI Whisper Python runtime as a fallback, so the app keeps working without a network connection once its model is downloaded.

Features:

  • Record from any microphone and transcribe automatically when you stop
  • Transcribe existing audio files in MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, AAC and OGG
  • Choose between speed and accuracy with selectable local runtime profiles
  • Translate speech into English as an alternative to plain transcription
  • Watch text appear live while the engine works, with optional timestamps
  • Review, replay and manage past recordings from a built-in history view
  • Copy transcripts to the clipboard in one click
  • Check and repair the local runtime from a guided readiness wizard

Loudio needs FFmpeg and a Whisper engine on your system. The built-in readiness wizard detects what is missing and installs it for you.
