Transcribe Locally.
Your interviews are sensitive. MinuteAI transcribes on your device — no audio ever reaches our servers or any third party.

Cloud services expose sources
Uploading interview audio to Otter.ai or Rev means your source's voice sits on someone else's servers.
Slow turnaround for human transcription
Waiting 24-48 hours for Rev's human transcription delays your deadline.
Expensive for freelancers
Otter Pro costs $29.99/month. As a freelancer, every dollar counts.

Real Journalist Workflow
Sarah is a freelance journalist covering local politics. She records a 45-minute phone interview with a whistleblower using MinuteAI on her iPhone. The transcript appears in seconds — entirely on-device. She reviews, highlights key quotes with AI enhancement, and exports to her writing app. Her source's identity? Never left her phone.
Source Protection Is Journalism 101
With MinuteAI, you don't have to trust a cloud provider with your most sensitive recordings. Every interview, every source conversation, every confidential meeting stays exactly where it belongs: on your device.
What MinuteAI Doesn't Do
No auto-join meeting bot — You start recording manually via the Chrome Extension.
No Android support — Apple platforms (macOS, iOS, iPadOS) + Chrome only.
No cloud backup — Transcripts stay on your device. Optional iCloud sync is Apple-managed.
No team collaboration — Individual-use tool. No shared workspace yet.
