What is MacWhisper?

MacWhisper is an all-in-one transcription, meeting recording, and dictation app for Mac users who need to convert speech, media, and meetings into clean text. The app can transcribe lectures, interviews, voice memos, podcasts, YouTube videos, subtitles, app audio, online meetings, and private files. Users can drag and drop files or record meetings in the background from tools such as Zoom, Teams, Webex, Skype, Chime, Discord, and other platforms. MacWhisper records online meetings without requiring a bot to join the call, making the experience more private and less disruptive. Its local AI model support allows sensitive files to be processed offline so data can stay on the user’s Mac. The app supports more than 100 languages and includes features for speaker recognition, accurate transcription, filler-word cleanup, translation, transcript search, built-in editing, and batch processing. Users can export transcripts as subtitles, documents, structured text files, Markdown, PDF, HTML, DOCX, SRT, and VTT depending on the version. MacWhisper also supports real-time system-wide dictation for messages, notes, documents, and app-specific workflows. Its AI features include summaries, chat, ready-to-use prompts, custom prompts, local and cloud models, and connections to services such as OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Azure, OpenRouter, Ollama, LM Studio, Deepgram, ElevenLabs, and others. Pro features include automatic meeting start and end detection, watched folders, workflow uploads to tools such as Notion, Zapier, Obsidian, n8n, Make.com, custom webhooks, and CLI control for agent or scripting workflows. By combining private transcription, meeting recording, dictation, AI prompts, local models, exports, integrations, and automation, MacWhisper gives Mac users a powerful way to capture and work with spoken information.

What is Aiko?

Aiko is an AI-powered audio transcription app for Apple devices, including macOS, iOS, and visionOS. The app helps users convert speech to text from meetings, lectures, interviews, recordings, voice memos, and other audio sources. Aiko uses OpenAI’s Whisper model running locally on the device, which means audio is processed on-device instead of being sent to an external transcription server. This makes the app especially useful for sensitive recordings and privacy-conscious workflows. On macOS, Aiko uses the Whisper large v2 model for high-quality transcription. On iOS, the app uses the medium or small Whisper model depending on available memory. Aiko also supports Shortcuts, allowing users to create workflows for batch-style transcription, Finder-based transcription, quick recording, action button recording, clipboard output, Notes integration, and additional processing. Users can transcribe files directly from Finder on macOS through Quick Actions after setting up the shortcut. On iPhone, users can create shortcuts to record, transcribe, show results in Aiko, or pass transcriptions into other apps. Aiko offers a 14-day TestFlight trial with full app access, no limitations, no auto-charges, and no commitment. By combining on-device Whisper transcription, strong privacy, Shortcuts automation, Apple ecosystem support, and simple speech-to-text workflows, Aiko helps users turn audio into usable text across personal, academic, and professional contexts.
