Trovu Transcriber for Mac

Stay with the conversation.

Follow speech as large, readable text. Translate, replay, and summarize on your Mac, at your pace.

For Apple silicon Macs running macOS 27 or later.

Read along with the speaker

Turn microphone speech into live captions with Apple’s on-device speech models. Choose your Mac microphone or another input available in macOS. Large type, adjustable fonts and spacing, and an immersive Focus view keep the words easy to follow. Scroll back and return to the latest text when you are ready.

See another language

Switch between original transcription and translated text. The original stays visible beneath the translation, and the language pair is close to the controls. Supported language assets may need an initial download. Translation is text only; Trovu does not speak a simultaneous interpretation.

Review at your pace

Keep a recording to replay, seek by timestamp, and change playback speed from 0.75× to 2×. Caption emphasis follows the audio. Optional speaker labels distinguish up to four voices after a separate local model download. Labels are estimates, not personal identification.

Keep what matters

Save sessions locally, rename them, add reusable tags, and search your original and translated text. Export UTF-8 text or SRT subtitles, with optional speaker labels. Export the original audio as M4A or CAF, separately or together with text. You choose what is retained.

Find the main ideas

Generate an on-device summary using Apple Intelligence, then translate the summary and read both languages side by side. Optional spelling-only correction runs after you stop listening; original wording is retained for undo.

Private by design

Speech, translation, speaker analysis, summaries and spelling correction run locally. Your audio and text are not sent to a paid transcription service. Initial model downloads, Apple purchases and optional technical crash reporting use the network. No separate Trovu account is required.

Try it, then unlock once

The App Store version offers a free 14-day trial and a one-time Full Unlock, with a US base price of $4.99. No subscription and no automatic charge. Apple shows the current localized price before purchase. Your existing sessions remain readable, playable and exportable after the trial ends.

App Store availability will be announced here. Summaries and spelling correction require Apple Intelligence and supported languages. Recognition and generated text can make mistakes; check important details against the recording. Trovu is a reading aid, not a medical assessment or treatment.
