ForgeScribe

ForgeScribe turns audio and video recordings into editable text and subtitles on your Windows PC. Key features: • Import audio or video files, or batch multiple recordings • Record a microphone or system audio output directly • Choose a local speech model: Fast, Balanced, Accurate or Best • Review timed transcripts with search, replace, split and merge tools • Export TXT, SRT, VTT, DOCX, Markdown, CSV, JSON, LRC or PDF All processing happens on your computer. Your media is never uploaded, and you don't need a subscription or a separate account. Download each speech model once, then use it offline. Compatible Vulkan hardware can speed up transcription, and CPU processing is available as well. Provisional live captions let you follow along while you record. The review step matters because recognition and speaker labels can be wrong, especially with background noise or overlapping speech. Check the words and timestamps, rename speaker labels where needed, then export the result. Exported files work in other apps, so the text stays useful after you leave ForgeScribe. Built for journalists, researchers, students, podcasters and video creators who need accurate transcripts and subtitles without uploading private recordings. It is a one-time purchase available on the Microsoft Store.
