description Aiko Overview

Aiko is a speech-to-text application available on macOS and iOS that leverages OpenAI's Whisper models for local, on-device audio transcription. Because processing occurs directly on the hardware, it provides a privacy-focused method for converting spoken language into written text without sending audio data to external servers. The application is designed for users who require secure, offline transcriptions of meetings, lectures, or voice notes.

help Aiko FAQ

What platforms does Aiko support?

Aiko is available for macOS and iOS devices. It can accept recordings from sources such as Voice Memos and transcribe them locally on supported Apple hardware.

Does Aiko send audio to the cloud?

Aiko runs OpenAI’s Whisper models locally on the device, so the audio-processing step does not require uploading the recording to a remote transcription service. This makes it useful for private interviews, meetings, and voice notes.

Which speech-recognition model does Aiko use?

Aiko uses OpenAI’s Whisper family of speech-recognition models for transcription. Because Whisper supports multilingual speech, Aiko can be used for more than English, although accuracy still depends on the recording and selected model.

Can Aiko transcribe an audio file instead of live speech?

Yes, Aiko can import existing audio and video files as well as recordings shared from other Apple apps. That makes it suitable for transcribing a saved lecture or Voice Memos recording rather than only dictating in real time.
