Audio
Transcribe audio and video to text — on your Mac.
Interviews, voice memos, lectures, meetings: get a transcript or subtitles without sending a second of audio to the cloud.
How it works
Drag an audio or video file
From Finder, the Desktop, Mail or a browser — anywhere you can drag a file.
Pick the tool
Press ⌃⌥K and type “transcribe”, or right-click the file in Finder › Clementine Tools › Transcribe to Text.
Done
You get a .txt transcript or .srt subtitles. The original is never changed.
Why Clementine
- On-device recognition in your chosen language
- Long recordings are split at pauses so words aren’t cut
- Add automatic subtitles to a video in one step

Questions
Is my audio uploaded?
No. Clementine uses Apple’s on-device speech recognition; the recording never leaves your Mac.
Which languages are supported?
Every language your Mac offers on-device dictation for. Choose it in Settings › General.
