For audio you are not allowed to upload. Runs on local hardware, offline, with no per-minute billing — and I have the measured receipt.
Cloud transcription sends the recording to someone else's servers. For litigators, clinicians and government teams handling privileged material, that is a compliance problem, not a convenience. This runs with the Wi-Fi off. Nothing uploads, nothing is billed per minute, nothing is retained by a vendor — because there is no vendor in the loop.
610 seconds of audio in 37 seconds of wall clock, on CPU. One hour of audio costs about 3.7 minutes of machine time.
No API, no per-minute billing, no upload, no seat minimum. Open-source models on hardware that is already on the desk.
Names, an address ("1142 West Palm Avenue"), times and an invoice complaint all came through intact. Punctuation needed a pass.
That run used the fast model. Noisy rooms want a larger one, which trades speed for accuracy. A real engagement runs your worst-case recording before anything is promised.
| Buyer | Why it lands |
|---|---|
| Litigation firms | Privileged recordings, depositions and client calls cannot be shipped to a US cloud on a whim. Bar associations are publishing on exactly this risk. |
| Clinics and practices | Patient audio is regulated. Local transcription keeps the recording inside the practice. |
| Government and agencies | Resident and caseworker audio stays on agency hardware, with an audit trail nobody else holds. |
Your worst-case file — accent, crosstalk, phone quality. I run it locally and send back the transcript.
If the accuracy is not good enough for your work, we stop there. No fee, no obligation.
A flat monthly arrangement for the volume you actually handle. No per-minute meter, no usage spike surprises.
I also track what every AI model costs per million tokens, and what moved today — AI Price Watch → — and run a free 30-minute session that cuts a business's AI bill, done live: the AI Bill Clinic →
Everything on this page was measured on the machine this page was built on. The script, the model list and the sample clip are not client material — nothing confidential is here, by design. Re-runnable in full.
