Read the full description
Sonotype turns recordings, meetings, lectures, interviews and videos into text on your own Windows PC. Nothing is uploaded: it works offline, in 99 languages, with the time of every line. Click a timestamp to hear just that line, double-click to fix a word, replace a misheard name everywhere at once, and save SRT/VTT subtitles, a Word document or plain text. Free for files up to 5 minutes; a one-time purchase unlocks any length. No account, no subscription.
