Transcription for interpreting

A transcription workspace designed around interpreters.

InterpretBank offers live transcription through an installable app for macOS and Windows, plus a lighter WebApp option for mobile use. The installable app supports professional workflows, including booth-console and online-meeting audio, with zero setup.

Choose a transcription model that fits the assignment: local models keep audio on your computer and do not have any usage costs (run as long as you want), while cloud models provide GDPR-compliant recognition with broader language coverage and credit-based usage.

From speech to support

  1. Choose an audio input
    Connect the relevant microphone, physical console or any audio played on your computer (like a zoom meeting).
  2. Select a model
    Use local processing or a GDPR-compliant cloud model according to the assignment.
  3. Work with the transcript
    Follow speech, numbers and glossary matches while you interpret.
Professional controls

Recognition support where interpreters need it.
