Use yap for fast on-device transcription on macOS using Apple's Speech.framework.

Quick start

yap transcribe /path/to/audio.mp3
yap transcribe /path/to/audio.m4a --locale de-DE
yap transcribe /path/to/video.mp4 --srt -o captions.srt

Options

--locale <locale> — Language locale (e.g., de-DE, en-US, zh-CN)
--censor — Redact certain words/phrases
--txt / --srt — Output format (default: txt)
-o, --output-file — Save to file instead of stdout

Advantages over Whisper

Native Apple Speech.framework (optimized for Apple Silicon)
No model download required
Faster processing
Lower memory usage

Notes

Requires macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later
Supported languages depend on installed Apple Speech models
