What is Glasscribe?

Glasscribe is a lightweight macOS menu bar app that transcribes speech in real time — entirely on your device. Built on Apple's native Speech framework (macOS 26 Tahoe), it captures both system audio and microphone input across 22+ languages with real-time on-device translation.

Key features include a floating subtitle overlay with search and timestamps, hold-to-dictate mode using the fn key, auto-copy and auto-paste at cursor, session history with SRT/TXT export, and fully configurable global keyboard shortcuts. All speech recognition and translation runs locally on Apple's neural engine — no cloud, no account, no data ever leaves your Mac.
