Turn any video or recording into a transcript you can use

Transcribe interviews, podcasts, lectures, YouTube downloads, or files already on your computer. VidBee keeps the words, speakers, timestamps, and playback together.

Speaker recognition

Separate voices, rename speakers, and jump straight to every moment they spoke.

Accurate transcriptions

Review timestamped text next to playback, and jump to any line as it plays.

Local models

Pick Whisper Small, Base, or Tiny for this Mac. Speech stays on the computer after the first download.

100 languages

Transcribe multilingual audio with Whisper language detection and language hints.

Export

Take the transcript with you as text, Markdown, subtitles, or captioned video.

Search

Find a word or phrase, select the line, and continue from the exact timestamp.

Transcription stays on your computer

  • Speech stays local
  • Files stay on this device
  • AI only if you send it

Turn the transcript into the next thing you need

Summarize a long conversation, translate every line, build an FAQ, or map the main ideas. Start with a built-in workflow or write your own prompt.

Custom prompts

Write once, save it, and run the same workflow on any transcript.

Built-in workflows

Start with practical prompts for the tasks people repeat most.

Use the AI provider you already trust

Bring your own API key, connect Ollama or LM Studio, or add a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

VidBee focuses on personal archiving, local transcription, and configurable AI workflows. It pairs a desktop queue with open-source tools like yt-dlp and FFmpeg, so you can keep downloads local, inspect the project on GitHub, and choose how each transcript is processed.

FAQ

To deliver an out-of-the-box experience, we bundle yt-dlp, the Deno JS runtime, ffmpeg, and ffprobe so downloads succeed more often and formats, audio, and subtitles work immediately. Other software keeps installers small by downloading these after installation, but that slows down the first-run experience.
