I am LOVING the app, and have been telling everyone.
Transcribe interviews with speakers labeled
Turn a recorded interview into an accurate, speaker-separated transcript you can quote, code, and search — privately, on Mac and Windows.
Free download. No account required.
Interview audio is hard to work with
An interview is only useful once it's text. Researchers need clean transcripts to code qualitative data, journalists need accurate quotes with attribution, and hiring teams need a record of who said what. Doing it by hand means hours of pausing, rewinding, and typing — and transcription services charge per minute and ask you to upload sensitive recordings to their cloud.
Vowen transcribes the whole interview for you and separates the speakers, so you get a transcript where each person's words are attributed. Drop in a recording you already have, or capture the conversation live. Because it can run on-device, a confidential source or a candidate's interview never has to leave your machine.
Built for transcripts you'll actually quote from
Speaker labels
Vowen separates who's talking and labels each speaker. Rename them once — interviewer, participant, candidate — and the labels carry through the transcript.
Keep sources private
On-device transcription means a sensitive or off-the-record interview never gets uploaded. Your recordings stay on your computer.
Quote and code with confidence
A clean, timestamped, attributed transcript is easy to search, pull quotes from, or import into your qualitative coding workflow.
Export for analysis
Export to text, Markdown, or subtitles so the transcript drops straight into your notes, paper, or analysis tool.

17 days of data, 81,130 words spoken. 33.8 hours saved. 1,156 transcriptions. I'm not typing sentences anymore. Only passwords.
What you've built is absolutely incredible. Extremely well done. I dictated this entire thing, which has saved me a significant amount of time and physical stress from typing.
