Local Audio and Video Transcription for Mac
Voxt can analyze existing audio and video recordings as well as live meetings. Drop a recording into the file workflow, let Voxt normalize its audio track, and review the resulting transcript, speaker context, timestamps, summary, and follow-up analysis on your Mac.
At a glance
- Import supported audio or video recordings by choosing files or dragging them into Voxt.
- Process recordings with local ASR channels, or connect a remote provider with your own key.
- Analyze recordings up to the current 12-hour meeting-file limit with queued background processing.
- Review speakers, timestamps, summaries, and follow-up questions in a meeting-style result.
Transcribe recordings on your Mac
File transcription is useful when the conversation already happened: a recorded meeting, interview, lecture, presentation, or video with an important audio track. Voxt turns the recording into the same kind of reviewable meeting record used by its live workflow.
Audio and video imports
Choose or drag an audio or video recording into Voxt. The app prepares the media and extracts an audio track before transcription, so video files can be analyzed when they contain usable audio.
Queued file analysis
Longer recordings can run through a persistent file-task queue instead of blocking the rest of the desktop. You can monitor progress, cancel work, prioritize a task, or retry a failed analysis.
Local-first processing
Use a local ASR channel when you want the model step to stay on the Mac. Remote ASR is optional and uses the provider configuration you choose rather than a Voxt-hosted transcription service.
From recording to useful meeting record
A transcript is more valuable when you can find who said what, return to the right moment, and ask what should happen next. Voxt keeps file analysis connected to its meeting review workflow.
Speakers and timestamps
When speaker analysis is available for the selected models and device policy, the result can include speaker context and timestamps for reviewing important parts of the recording.
Summary and follow-up
Use the finished meeting result for summaries, analysis, and follow-up questions about decisions, action items, unresolved topics, or other details in the recording.
Review before sharing
Transcription quality depends on the recording, model, language, and audio conditions. Review names, technical terms, speaker labels, and important decisions before treating the result as a final record.
FAQ
Can Voxt transcribe an audio file on Mac?
Yes. Voxt can import supported audio recordings and process them through its meeting-file analysis workflow. Choose a local ASR channel for on-device processing, or configure a remote provider with your own key.
Can Voxt transcribe a video file?
Yes, when the video contains a supported audio track. Voxt prepares the media, extracts the audio, and analyzes the recording as a meeting file. The exact codecs and behavior depend on macOS media support and the source file.
Does file transcription work offline?
It can. File transcription can use local ASR and local enhancement channels so the model work stays on the Mac. Remote providers remain optional for users who choose them.
How long can a Voxt recording be?
The current meeting-file analysis limit is 12 hours per recording. Actual processing time and resource use depend on the file, selected model, hardware, and whether speaker analysis is enabled.
