What is Glasscribe?

Glasscribe is a lightweight macOS menu bar application designed for real-time speech-to-text transcription. It operates entirely on the user's device, ensuring privacy and security by not sending data to the cloud. The application is capable of transcribing speech in over 30 languages and provides live translation features, making it a versatile tool for various applications, including meetings, video watching, and idea capturing.

"Your voice, instantly in words. Turn meetings, videos, and spontaneous ideas into text — right on your Mac."

Glasscribe captures system audio and microphone input seamlessly, requiring no additional extensions or virtual audio drivers. It provides instant results with low latency, allowing users to see their spoken words transcribed as they speak, facilitating quick note-taking and content generation. The app includes a floating overlay for easy visibility and session history for searching previous transcriptions.
