What it does

A fast, private, on‑device voice app for Apple Silicon Macs that does dictation, media transcription, meeting recording, and provides a CLI for automation.

When to use it
  • •You need instant, offline transcription of meeting recordings or podcasts on your Mac.
  • •You want to dictate notes directly into any app without sending audio to the cloud.
  • •You are building a script that batch‑processes audio/video files into text or subtitles.
Ready-to-paste prompt
macparakeet transcribe ~/Downloads/webinar.mp4 --format srt --output ~/Documents/webinar.srt
Heads up: The app only runs on Apple Silicon Macs (M1/M2) with macOS 13+; attempting to run it on Intel Macs or older macOS versions will fail.
