MacWhisper

MacWhisper is a Mac transcription app with a free basic route and a paid one-time license. The official site lists Pro at €64 with lifetime updates, and describes microphone recording, audio or video import, subtitle exports, speaker recognition, batch transcription, and translation. Some features and processing choices differ between free and Pro, so verify the plan table before purchasing. Local transcription is attractive for sensitive audio, but you still need to review where files, models, and optional integrations send data. Use a sample with the language and accent you actually need, inspect names and timestamps, then export an SRT or document in your required format.
