Transcribe Interviews Without Compromising Your Sources
Real-time, on-device transcription built for journalists who need accuracy and confidentiality.
The Problem
Journalists handle sensitive material every day. Cloud-based transcription services upload your audio to remote servers, creating a paper trail that could compromise confidential sources. Most tools also require subscriptions costing $15-25/month, and they fail when you need them most — in the field with spotty internet. You end up spending hours manually transcribing recordings or trusting third-party servers with material that should never leave your control.
The Solution
Glasscribe transcribes interviews entirely on your Mac — no internet connection, no cloud servers, no data ever leaves your device. Record an in-person interview through your microphone, or transcribe a phone call or video interview using system audio capture. Every word appears as text in real time, ready to search, quote, and export. Your sources stay protected because the audio never touches a server.
