The full local transcription appliance — accurate, private, and free. Runs right on your computer’s processor, so it works on any Windows 11 PC, old or new.
For students, journalists, and everyday recordings: lectures, interviews, and meetings.
Everything in Scribe50, and it puts your GPU and NPU to work for dramatically faster transcription — plus ongoing updates delivered automatically.
For people with a modern PC who want top speed and regular updates to the app to keep improving it, hands-free!
Scribe50 is a 3.5 GB CPU-only download that runs anywhere. Scribe50 Plus is a larger download that adds GPU/NPU acceleration and takes a few minutes to configure itself the first time you launch it — after that, every launch is instant. Both bundle the whole AI engine up front, so nothing is fetched later.
Scribe50 is a free, private transcription app for Windows. Drop in a lecture, interview, or meeting and get a clean, speaker-labeled transcript — processed entirely on your own machine. No account, no upload, no cloud.
Scribe50 is a full AI transcription engine that lives on your own machine — not a website borrowing a cloud server. Your audio and your transcripts are processed and saved locally, and are never uploaded to ADI-AI. No outside service reads your recording. Scribe50 FREE needs no account and makes no license call at all. Scribe50 Plus checks its license with us at launch, and works offline for up to 7 days between checks. And if you paste a link to import media, the app fetches it from the site you named — that one is your choice, and it is the only time a recording comes in over the network. Read the full breakdown.
No setup, no technician, no settings to fiddle with — the appliance experience, done right.
Point Scribe50 at a recording — audio or video, or paste a YouTube/URL. It makes an exact copy and works from that; your original is never touched.
The AI engine runs on your own computer: accurate, multilingual, with speaker labels and timestamps.
You get a tidy folder: a clean, readable transcript, subtitles (TXT/SRT/VTT), an exact copy of your recording, and a plain-language integrity check.
Your audio never leaves your machine. There is no cloud copy of your recording and no third-party AI reading it. Built, hosted, and operated entirely in the United States, by a veteran-founded company.
Everything is bundled into one install — no Python, no drivers, no GPU required. Runs on any Windows 11 PC and Scribe50 Plus automatically uses your GPU or NPU when you have one.
Scribe50 installers are code-signed as ADI-AI LLC and verified before they run — so you always know exactly what you’re installing. We never ship unsigned software.
Scribe50 is free, forever. Scribe50 Plus is our commitment to keep it faster, safer, and better every month — a small subscription funding real, ongoing work you can see and feel.
Continuing model and engine upgrades — the accuracy and speed gains land automatically, never a rebuy.
Ongoing GPU acceleration today, and NPU optimization as new AI chips arrive — faster on the machine you already own.
A plain-language SHA-256 integrity record that lets you verify the preserved recording copy matches the file provided at intake.
Every build is code-signed as ADI-AI LLC and verified before it runs — you always know it’s really us.
New versions install themselves, signed and safe. Nothing to hunt down, nothing to reinstall.
Dependencies patched and security maintained for the life of the product — your private, offline tool stays trustworthy.
Hit a snag? A real person replies. Responsive support is part of what you pay for, not an afterthought.
Better transcript packaging over time — clearer formatting and more useful files, easier to read and hand off.
Continuous UX refinement — smoother flows, clearer screens, release after release.
Every dollar goes straight back into Scribe50 — faster transcription, tighter security, and real people who stand behind it.
Scribe50 runs entirely on your computer — the whole AI engine lives on your PC, and nothing you record ever leaves it. That’s why the download is sizable: 3.5 GB for Scribe50 and 10.5 GB for Scribe50 Plus, with roughly the same again needed as free disk space while it installs. Scribe50 is ready the moment it installs. Scribe50 Plus takes a few extra minutes the first time you launch it to configure itself for your GPU or NPU. Either way it’s a one-time thing — after that, every launch is instant.
We build and test Scribe50 hard so that first setup is the only patience it ever asks of you — then everything runs fast, locally, and offline. Enjoy!
Scribe50 is designed, built, and supported entirely in the United States — no offshore contractors, no outside hands on the software you trust with your recordings. ADI-AI is fully veteran-owned: every one of us has served, and our founder spent decades in forensic and security work. The people who build your software are the same people who stand behind it.
Scribe50 is free — and the same disciplined engine grows with you into BASIC and the forensic BASIC-F when your work needs a full chain of custody.
