Aiko — Private On-Device AI Transcription
Aiko is an on-device AI transcription tool for Apple users who need private and offline speech-to-text conversion.
Aiko is a specialized AI application that provides high-quality speech-to-text transcription directly on Apple devices. It is built for business professionals, journalists, and researchers who require accurate text versions of audio recordings without compromising data privacy. By leveraging OpenAI’s Whisper model on-device, the application converts audio into text in over 100 languages with high precision. The software processes all data locally on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, ensuring that sensitive business conversations and interviews never leave your hardware. You can record audio directly within the app or import existing video and audio files from your library. This local processing also means the tool functions perfectly without an internet connection, making it ideal for field work or travel. Business owners use Aiko to transcribe long meetings, client interviews, and voice memos into organized text. The interface is intentionally minimalist to remove friction from the workflow. After transcription, you can export the results in various formats like SRT, VTT, or plain text for further editing or documentation. As featured on surfai.app, this tool is a reliable solution for teams that handle confidential information and cannot use cloud-based transcription services. The application maintains a high standard of accuracy even with background noise or technical terminology. Aiko is currently available as a free application on the Mac App Store and iOS App Store.
