Questions about Transcribe

Does Transcribe upload my files?

No. Transcribe runs entirely on your Mac, so your files never leave it and it works offline.

Will Transcribe change my original files?

No. Results are saved as new files in a dated folder in Downloads › OneMacTools, and your originals are left exactly as they were unless you turn on an option that says otherwise.

What does Transcribe need?

Just a Mac with macOS 26 or later. There's nothing else to install.

Can I use Transcribe from Finder?

Yes. Right-click files in Finder and choose Quick Actions › “OMT: Transcribe”. It runs in the background and notifies you when it's done.
