Teksto

Teksto

On-device audio transcription

Teksto turns audio and video files into accurate, speaker-separated text, entirely on your Mac. Drop in a meeting recording, a podcast, an interview, or a voice memo and get a clean transcript with each speaker's turns marked. No cloud uploads, no API keys, no account required.

Everything runs locally on your Mac using on-device machine learning: NVIDIA's Parakeet speech recognition model, a trained speaker diarization model, and an optional local Phi-3.5 Mini language model for contextual cleanup. Your files never leave your Mac.

Teksto transcript view with speaker-separated text and word-level confidence highlighting

Private by Design

Every second of audio stays on your Mac. No cloud uploads, no API keys, no account. After the one-time model download, Teksto works offline. Transcripts, edits, and exports never leave your machine.

Automatic Speaker Detection

Tell Teksto how many speakers to expect and it separates them automatically, with word-level timing. Low-confidence tokens are highlighted in the editor so you know where to double-check.

Word-Level Editing

Rename speakers, reassign individual tokens, and nudge boundaries word by word. Toggle between the cleaned transcript and the original. Deterministic filler-word removal for ums and uhs, no AI required.

Exports That Fit Any Workflow

Export to JSON for pipelines, plain text for quick reading, or SRT for captioning. Every export is timestamped and speaker-labelled, ready to drop into your editor, NLE, or notes app.

Native Mac Experience

Drag-and-drop files in, send transcripts out through the share sheet, automate from the AppleScript dictionary, and flip between light and dark mode to match your system. Teksto feels at home on your Mac because it is one.

Broad Format Support

WAV, M4A, MP3, FLAC, AIFF, CAF for audio. MP4 and MOV for video. If QuickTime can play it, Teksto can transcribe it.
