Vid2txt

Vid2txt is a desktop offline transcription app for individuals and professionals who need to convert video and audio files into text without uploading content to the cloud.

Key capabilities include:

• Drag-and-drop transcription for quick file imports and simple workflows
• Local, offline processing that works without internet connectivity and keeps files on the user’s device (no data collection)
• Broad format support, including video (mp4, mov, wmv, mkv, avi, flv) and audio (wav, mp3, m4a)
• Multiple export options with editable outputs in .txt, plus subtitle formats .srt and .vtt

Pricing: Paid, one-time purchase of $10 for unlimited transcriptions (no subscription).

Notable for its privacy-first, no-cloud approach and anti-subscription model, plus a refund policy if the app cannot transcribe a user’s files. Supported on Windows 10+ and macOS 13+.
