Play the audio and type the transcript in the same window.
Built for journalists transcribing interviews by hand: keyboard shortcuts pause and rewind without leaving the text box, one key drops in a clickable timestamp, and the draft autosaves to browser storage every second. The audio file and the text both stay on your computer. There is no speech recognition at all — you type every word, which is slower and considerably more accurate.
Questions
Works the moment the page loads. No account, no email, no trial. No automatic transcription whatsoever, and because the draft lives in browser storage, clearing site data loses it.
No. oTranscribe does the work inside your browser, so the file never leaves your device — you can load the page, disconnect from the network, and it still works. That makes it a reasonable choice for material containing personal data.
