The Problem

Capturing your voice should not be this heavy

Most tools make a quick spoken note feel like a project: you sign up, invite a bot, and hand your audio to someone else's cloud.

Accounts and bots

Sign-ups, logins, and a meeting bot just to turn a few sentences into text.

Your audio, their cloud

Recordings upload to servers you do not control, then sit there indefinitely.

Files, not usable notes

Basic recorders leave you with audio and no transcript, search, or clean export.

The Solution

One click, and the whole ordeal disappears

ArcScribe replaces accounts, bots, and uploads with a single button. Press record and get a clean, private transcript you own.

Capture in one click

No sign-ups and no meeting bots. Install ArcScribe, press record, and speak.

Private by default

No servers and no uploads. Your voice and transcripts stay on your device.

From audio to usable notes

Every recording becomes an editable, searchable transcript you can export.
