SoftOrbits TranscribeIt

TranscribeIt (SoftOrbits) is offline transcription software for Windows that turns audio and video files into accurate text on your own PC. This local AI transcription tool runs a speech to text model right on your machine, so nothing is uploaded to the cloud. No account, no per-minute fees, no daily limit - just fast, private audio to text and video to text conversion.

🔰 How to use

1. Drag and drop your files, or click Add Files or Add Folder to queue a whole batch.
2. On first run it downloads a local AI model - after that the transcription software works fully offline.
3. Toggle time codes on or off and pick where the .txt and .srt files are saved.
4. Click Start and watch the progress bar, or process an entire folder in one run.
5. Open any result in the built-in player, click a segment to jump to that moment, edit the text and save.
