Both products are listed under Productivity & Workflow. Everything below is what the makers told us when they submitted. IndieList has not tested either product, so read this as a fact sheet, not a verdict.
Yap Audio to Text
Free audio and video transcription that never uploads your file
Turn an MP3, M4A, WAV or video file into editable text and SRT or VTT subtitles. OpenAI Whisper runs in your browser, so the file is never uploaded. Free, no sign-up, no minute limits. Files up to 60 minutes and 300 MB; English or 99 languages with automatic detection (never translated). Subtitles are cut at natural pauses with real start and end times. Edit, copy or save as .txt. Made by the team behind Yap.
