Yours to keep
No subscription, no trial. Install it once and it keeps working, on your machine.
How to install
Copy the command above and paste it into Terminal.
Press Return. It installs Transcribe into your Applications folder and opens it.
First launch downloads the speech model once, about 650 MB, then it is fully offline.
What does the command actually do?
# Downloads the app, installs it, and clears the download # quarantine so the bundled engine can run. Nothing hidden. curl https://transcribe.heliconsolutions.net/Transcribe.zip ditto -x -k Transcribe.zip /Applications/ xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Transcribe.app open /Applications/Transcribe.app
Why Terminal, not a double-click?
This build is not yet notarized by Apple, so a normal download would be blocked by Gatekeeper. Installing through the command above avoids that, and it is fully transparent: you can read every line of the script before running it. A signed, double-click version is on the way.
