Derecorder is a desktop Python app for local transcription of audio recordings into text. Powered by the OpenAI Whisper model, it processes files directly on the user’s device, eliminating the need for cloud uploads and ensuring complete privacy. To get started, just drag a folder of audio recordings into the app window.

Each transcript is formatted as a note, with the recording date and time inferred automatically from metadata. With batch processing, all files are merged into a single document, where text notes are grouped by day and sorted in chronological order.
