Watch AirgapAI Transcribe in action
See how audio is transcribed and summarized entirely on-device with zero cloud exposure.
Enterprise audio intelligence is trapped behind cloud risk
Thousands of hours of meetings, interviews, and briefings go untranscribed because there is no safe way to process sensitive audio at scale.
Data Sovereignty Risk
Cloud transcription requires uploading executive sessions, legal depositions, and classified briefings to third-party servers you do not control.
Unsustainable Per-Minute Costs
Cloud pricing compounds rapidly at enterprise volume, especially when recordings must be re-processed, translated, or summarized.
Manual Summarization Bottleneck
Even with a transcript, someone still reads the entire document and manually extracts key points, decisions, and action items.
AirgapAI Transcribe solves all three
100% local, fully air-gapped audio transcription with automatic AI meeting notes. No cloud. No per-minute fees. No manual effort.
Audio Upload or Live Recording
Drag and drop MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, FLAC, AAC, WebM, Opus, WMA, or AIFF. Or record directly with built-in microphone capture.
Whisper AI Engine (On-Device)
OpenVINO-accelerated Whisper models running on the device NPU, GPU, or CPU. Up to 10x faster than real-time transcription.
AI Meeting Notes (Automatic)
On-device LLM generates Key Points, Decisions Made, Action Items, and Summary the moment transcription completes.
99-Language Support
Automatic language detection across all Whisper-supported languages. Meeting notes generated in the same language as the audio.
Full Audio Playback
Waveform visualization with click-to-seek, variable speed (0.5x to 3x), and synchronized transcript navigation.
From audio to actionable intelligence in minutes
AirgapAI Transcribe covers the full transcription lifecycle: capture, transcribe, summarize, and navigate, all without an internet connection.
Universal Audio Ingest
Accepts 10 audio formats with no file size limits. Drag-and-drop or record live with built-in microphone capture, real-time waveform visualization, pause/resume, and automatic crash recovery.
MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, FLAC, AAC, WebM, Opus, WMA, AIFFNPU-Accelerated Transcription
OpenVINO-optimized Whisper models leverage Intel NPU hardware for up to 10x real-time speed. A one-hour recording transcribed in as little as 7 minutes.
Real-Time Streaming
Transcript text appears in real time as each audio segment is processed. No waiting for the full file to finish before seeing results.
Structured Meeting Notes
On-device LLM processes the transcript with sentence-aware chunking and automatically generates Key Points, Decisions, Action Items, and Summary.
99-Language Detection
Automatic language detection as default, with manual override for known content. Meeting notes generated in the same language as the source audio.
Subtle Mode
Minimizes the recording interface to a low-contrast, visually discrete layout. Removes animated waveforms, shrinks controls, and eliminates visual indicators for single-party consent recording scenarios.
Designed for sensitive recording contextsOffline transcription software: what runs with the network off
Offline transcription software converts audio to text on the device itself, with no upload step. AirgapAI Transcribe loads OpenVINO-optimized Whisper models onto the local NPU, GPU, or CPU, then writes the transcript and its meeting notes to a local database. Disconnect the network and every stage still runs.
Whisper models executed on the NPU
The transcription engine is a Whisper model compiled for OpenVINO and run on the device's NPU, GPU, or CPU. On a 2026 Intel Core Ultra machine an hour of audio finishes in 7 to 12 minutes, up to 10x faster than real time, with no API call anywhere in the loop.
Ten file formats, no upload step
Drop in MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, FLAC, AAC, WebM, Opus, WMA, or AIFF, or record live from the microphone. There are no file size caps, 300MB+ recordings are processed locally, and the audio never leaves the machine it was opened on.
MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, FLAC, AAC, WebM, Opus, WMA, AIFFTimestamped segments and speaker turns
The transcript streams in segment by segment as the audio is processed. Each segment keeps its timestamp and its speaker turn and stays aligned to the waveform, so click-to-seek review, variable-speed playback, search, and export all work with the network off.
Language detection with no lookup
Whisper's 99-language coverage runs on-device with automatic detection and manual override. The local LLM then writes Key Points, Decisions Made, Action Items, and Summary in the same language as the source audio.
A connection is used to download the installer and product updates. Transcription, meeting notes, playback, search, and export do not use one, which is why AirgapAI Transcribe deploys in disconnected and classified environments.

Built for every environment that handles sensitive audio
From classified military briefings to HIPAA-protected patient consultations, AirgapAI Transcribe delivers enterprise-grade transcription wherever connectivity is unavailable or prohibited. Healthcare teams can estimate the documentation hours a HIPAA-compliant AI scribe returns to clinicians before they roll one out.
Briefing transcription, intelligence debriefs, SCIF operations, and mission after-action reports with zero network uplink.
Patient encounter documentation, clinical trial interviews, and care coordination notes without PHI leaving the device.
Deposition transcription, witness interviews, mediation recordings, and client meetings without third-party infrastructure exposure.
Earnings call transcription, advisory meeting notes, and compliance recording documentation with full data residency.
From audio file to meeting intelligence
A streamlined pipeline that runs entirely on-device. No cloud calls, no API keys, no infrastructure to manage.

Security is architectural, not bolted on
The same military-grade architecture deployed in SCIF environments and SIPR/JWICS networks. Every byte of audio, every word of transcript stays on the local endpoint.
Complete Network Isolation
No internet connection required or used during operation. Audio files, transcripts, and AI models all remain on the local device with zero external transmission.
Full Data Residency
All audio files stored locally. All transcripts and meeting notes stored in local database. AI models run on-device with no API calls and no cloud inference.
Zero Telemetry
No usage tracking, no external data transmission. Complete operational privacy for the most sensitive recording environments.
Classified-Ready Architecture
Inherits the same military-grade architecture as AirgapAI Chat, originally engineered for disconnected classified environments where cloud connectivity is prohibited.
Cloud transcription vs. AirgapAI Transcribe
Cloud transcription has proven the value of speech-to-text at scale. AirgapAI Transcribe removes the adoption blockers for organizations that cannot accept cloud audio exposure. For a broader comparison of HIPAA-compliant AI transcription options, visit the secure AI transcription tools page.
