Aiko
Overview
Aiko is an AI-powered audio transcription tool that allows users to easily convert speech to text from meetings, lectures, and more. The transcription is performed directly on the user's device, ensuring complete privacy.
Aiko's transcription capabilities are powered by OpenAI's Whisper model, which is capable of transcribing audio in 100 different languages. The app supports audio and video files and offers exporting to many different formats, including JSON, CSV, and subtitles.
Aiko is designed to be a simple tool for audio transcription, although it includes support for Shortcuts. For more advanced users, MacWhisper is an alternative tool from the same developer that offers additional features like improved performance on iOS thanks to CoreML and batch conversion.
As a privacy-focused app, Aiko does not allow editing of the transcription within the app, and users are encouraged to export and edit the transcription in a proper text editor.
Aiko divides the transcription text by sentences, although users can use a workaround to divide the text into paragraphs or fix missing punctuations using a prompt from ChatGPT.
While Aiko does not yet support live transcription or diarization, the developer plans to prioritize more popular requests. Aiko is compatible with macOS and iOS devices, and users can easily drag and drop audio files or share recordings from apps like Voice Memos and Telegram for transcription.

dunn🙏 11 karmaAug 3, 2024@Transcript LOLI already have another transcription tool, but this one is much better. I love the different features such as the summary, quiz, and chapters. It does a great job of them. I've only done one transcript so far to try it out, but I'm truly impressed and am going to grab another code. A couple things that would make it even better are: - the ability to rename the files and organize them through folders. - the ability to download a copy of the other features as well as the transcript. Copying and pasting it works, but doesn't keep the format. -

Needed to extract a long interview from YouTube and it extracted everything, providing it in different meaningful formats in less than two minutes. Awesome
