What is Vibe Transcribe?
Vibe is an auto transcription service that utilizes local language learning models (LLMs) or artificial intelligence to provide transcriptions for a wide range of languages. The service prioritizes user privacy by offering fully offline transcription, ensuring that no data ever leaves the user's device. The user-friendly design allows for seamless transcribing of audio and video files, with the added functionality of batch transcribing multiple files at once.
Vibe supports various file formats such as SRT, VTT, TXT, HTML, PDF, and JSON. The real-time preview feature enables users to view transcriptions as they are being processed. Additionally, Vibe offers translation to English from any supported language and direct printing of transcripts to any printer.
The service is optimized for CPU and GPU usage on various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS. Advanced users can customize models via settings and use model arguments for more nuanced transcriptions. Vibe also supports transcribing system audio and microphone inputs, as well as CLI support for command line interface usage.








Comments and Reviews
Most likely the very best open source audio and video transcription tool for Linux out there today.
Works great on windows 11. I found out that pause button suites perfect to start the record.
This is a fantastic offline transcription tool. Runs perfectly and highly recommended for privacy.
It is listed as international origin, but it is probably Israeli. The names of the three publishers for the app are: Kiryat Arba, Yaakov Kolani, Yaakov Kolan and their Discord server has an only Hebrew channel.
Not saying it's suspicious since I didn't check the code, but this should be listed and corrected for everyone to know before.
I couldn't get it to work. Transcriptions end with this: failed to send load_model request to sona after 3 attempts
works as it should. On MacOs a nice free alternative, I have no reservations
Would have been an enthusiastic five star review after Vibe accurately transcribed a common English name from a New Zealand accent.
Hilariously, tho, when the same interview source spelled out the same name, Vibe ignored its own accuracy and decided that Len would become Lynn, and Salmon would become, um, a word that sounds a lot like seamen.
So yeah, kiwi accents can be difficult to follow for AI (and humans), and yes, sure mine may be a minority experience.
But two stars off to indicate - use with caution - especially for those outside AI accent norms.
