🔒 100% private: transcription runs in your browser. Your file is never uploaded.
Turn German recordings (meetings, lectures, interviews, podcasts) into written text for free. The tool below is set to German: drop in your audio or video and download the transcript or subtitles.
Because the AI runs locally in your browser, the recording itself is never uploaded, which is handy when you work under strict data-protection rules.
Tips for German transcription
- Keep German selected for recordings with an English intro or background music.
- Choose “Accurate”: long compound words and names come out better with the larger model.
- Austrian German works well. Swiss German dialect is usually written out in Standard German rather than in dialect spelling.
- Need English? Choose “Translate to English” under Output.

Frequently asked questions
Does it use proper capitalization and umlauts?
Yes. Nouns are capitalized and umlauts and ß (ä, ö, ü, ß) are written normally.
Is my recording sent to a server?
No. The recording is processed on your own device and never uploaded, so no one else receives the audio. (The website itself uses ads and analytics, as described in the privacy policy.)
Can I make German subtitles?
Yes. Export SRT or VTT with timestamps.
