What is Jotr?

Jotr is a free Mac transcription app for audio and video files. It helps Mac users turn recordings into local transcripts, timestamped review sessions, notes, highlights, summaries, captions, and clean exports.

A key workflow is for video creators and editors. Finish editing your video first, then drop the final MP4 or MOV into Jotr. Jotr transcribes the spoken audio and exports timed subtitle files such as SRT or VTT, so the captions stay aligned with the final cut. This is useful for YouTube, social video, podcasts, courses, tutorials, interviews, and any video workflow where you want to edit the footage first and generate subtitles afterward.

Jotr also works for meetings, lectures, research sessions, client calls, podcasts, and interviews. You can review transcripts with timestamp-linked playback, search the text, correct lines, highlight key moments, add notes, and generate local AI summaries for faster understanding.

Key features:

  • Free Mac transcription for audio and video files
  • Local processing on Apple Silicon Macs
  • Timestamp-linked transcript review
  • SRT and VTT subtitle/caption export
  • TXT, Markdown, Word, notes, highlights, and summary exports
  • Local AI summaries for longer recordings
  • No account required to start
  • Recordings, transcripts, summaries, notes, and project files stay on your Mac

Jotr is designed for Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 15 or later.
