Choose the model, keep the source local

MediaTranscribe gives the MediaFind tool family a dedicated workspace for turning recordings into clean, useful text.

Model choice

Select the local transcription model that fits the file, from fast drafts to more careful passes for important recordings.

Selectable models

Subtitle exports

Create timestamped SRT and VTT files for editors, players, captions, and downstream video workflows.

Caption ready

Reviewable text

Export TXT, Markdown, and JSON so transcripts can move into notes, search indexes, subtitle passes, or automation scripts.

Portable output
Model-aware workflow

Pick speed or accuracy before the run

Different recordings need different passes. MediaTranscribe keeps model selection visible so quick notes and publishable transcripts do not use the same assumptions.

  • Fast drafts for rough cuts, meeting notes, and searchable context.
  • Careful passes for interviews, captions, and long-form archives.
  • Repeatable exports with timestamps and segment metadata preserved.
Private by default

Transcription without shipping files away

MediaTranscribe follows the MediaFind pattern: a local desktop app with a local web workspace, designed for personal archives and professional media libraries.

  • Local source media stays on the machine you choose.
  • Export formats cover reading, editing, captions, and automation.
  • Focused workspace avoids turning transcription into a general cloud dashboard.
