Sonotype
Private, offline audio & video transcription for Windows
Sonotype turns recordings, meetings, lectures, interviews and videos into text on your own Windows PC. Nothing is uploaded: it works offline, in 99 languages, with the time of every line. Click a timestamp to hear just that line, double-click to fix a word, replace a misheard name everywhere at once, and save SRT/VTT subtitles, a Word document or plain text. Free for files up to 5 minutes; a one-time purchase unlocks any length. No account, no subscription.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I built Sonotype because every transcription tool I tried wanted me to upload my recordings to someone else's server, pay a monthly subscription, or both. For interviews, client calls and classes, that never felt right.
Sonotype runs entirely on your PC:
• Drop an audio or video file (MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV, MKV) and get the text with the time of every line
• 99 languages, detected automatically
• Click the time next to a line to hear just that part, double-click to fix a word
• Find and replace to fix a misheard name in the whole transcript
• Save SRT/VTT subtitles for YouTube and video editors, a Word document or plain text
• No account, no cloud, no tracking: your files never leave your computer
It's free for files up to 5 minutes, and a single one-time purchase unlocks recordings of any length. No subscription, ever.
Offline translation of transcripts is coming in the next update, already in review.
I'd love your feedback: what do you transcribe most, and what would make this your go-to tool? I'll be here all day answering questions. 🙏
