Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I built Sonotype because every transcription tool I tried wanted me to upload my recordings to someone else's server, pay a monthly subscription, or both. For interviews, client calls and classes, that never felt right. Sonotype runs entirely on your PC: • Drop an audio or video file (MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV, MKV) and get the text with the time of every line • 99 languages, detected automatically • Click the time next to a line to hear just that part, double-click to fix a word • Find and replace to fix a misheard name in the whole transcript • Save SRT/VTT subtitles for YouTube and video editors, a Word document or plain text • No account, no cloud, no tracking: your files never leave your computer It's free for files up to 5 minutes, and a single one-time purchase unlocks recordings of any length. No subscription, ever. Offline translation of transcripts is coming in the next update, already in review. I'd love your feedback: what do you transcribe most, and what would make this your go-to tool? I'll be here all day answering questions. 🙏
