In their own words
InqScribe
InqScribe is digital media transcription software for annotating, transcribing and analyzing audio and video files on macOS and Windows. Automatic speech-to-text runs on the user's computer rather than in the cloud. The company says user data stays on the computer and is not used to train AI models. Its editor combines transcript editing with free-form notes, clickable timecodes, custom snippets and search-and-replace. Playback can be controlled with keyboard shortcuts or a USB foot pedal. Caption exports include SRT, WebVTT, SCC and XML, for tools and systems such as Premiere, Final Cut Pro, YouTube and broadcast workflows. Automatic transcription supports dozens of languages, with full UTF-8 Unicode support. Supported media includes formats such as H.264, QuickTime, WAV, AAC and MP3. Transcript files are saved locally where specified, and the app does not save copies of audio or video content. A Free Viewer costs nothing. A 10-Day License costs $10 a month, billed as a one-time purchase, while a Perpetual License costs $79 a month as a one-time purchase and includes two years of free updates.
