AI-Powered Summaries
After transcription, send the text to OpenAI, Anthropic, or your local Ollama server for structured summaries with key topics, highlights, and takeaways.
Timestamped Segments
Every transcript includes accurate timestamps so you can jump to specific moments in the original audio.
Smart Chunking
Long files are split into 30-second segments at silence gaps, transcribed in parallel, and stitched back together with word-level deduplication.
Export Formats
Export your transcripts as plain text (.txt), subtitles (.srt), or markdown (.md). Files are saved to ~/Documents/VoxBee/Transcriptions/.

Speaker Diarization (Beta)
On-device speaker detection powered by NVIDIA Sortformer. Get a transcript with each turn labelled by speaker — great for interviews and panel recordings. Available as a Beta action on completed transcripts.
On-device by default.
Transcription runs locally with Whisper or NVIDIA Parakeet — your files stay on your machine. If you opt into a cloud provider with your own API key, a persistent purple cloud badge shows whenever audio leaves your device, so it's always clear when something is being uploaded.
