Vidrick AI Transcriber is a Windows desktop app built by solo developer Alec Vidrick for recorded interviews, podcasts, meetings and other audio and video files. Recordings are transcribed locally on your Windows PC, in 57 languages, and nothing from them is uploaded to the cloud for transcription. Account setup, downloads and license checks need internet access. A Mac version is 'in early development'.
You can review and edit transcripts and speaker labels, then export TXT, DOCX, SRT or VTT. Personal is $6.99 a month. Professional is $13.99 a month and adds compatible NVIDIA GPU acceleration, commercial use and 3 computers. Business is custom priced. Professional has a 7-day trial with 'No credit card and no automatic charge'.
Alec is the solo developer behind Vidrick. He built it around a straightforward workflow: transcribe recordings locally on Windows, review the words and speaker labels, and export something useful. Keeping recordings off cloud transcription services is central to the product.
