FAQ

Can this run without uploading recordings?

Yes. The normal transcription workflow processes media locally in the browser and avoids uploading raw files to our app backend.

What should I check before using it offline?

Load the app and model once while online, then keep the same browser profile and site data so cached assets remain available.

What are the main limits?

Large files depend on local memory and compute. Source quality, speaker overlap, and browser support affect speed and transcript accuracy.
