Transcription in InterpretBank
InterpretBank offers live transcription in two ways: as a full installable Live Transcription app for macOS and Windows, and as a lighter feature integrated in the InterpretBank WebApp for mobile use.
The installable app is the professional solution. It lets you choose between fully local models, where no audio leaves your computer, and GDPR-compliant cloud models for high-quality cloud recognition. The WebApp transcription is designed for quick use on the run, especially when you are using a phone or tablet and the computer app is not available.
Installable Live Transcription app
You install Live Transcription on your computer and use it for professional interpreting workflows, including simultaneous interpreting from a booth console or transcription from online meetings such as Zoom or Teams.
- Local models: transcription runs on your computer and no audio leaves your device.
- Cloud models: GDPR-compliant cloud transcription for high accuracy and broader language coverage.
- Glossary lookup during transcription, including inflected forms for many languages.
- Automatic number highlighting and interpreter-friendly transcript reading controls.
- No special setup is required beyond choosing the correct audio input.

Transcription in the WebApp
The InterpretBank WebApp also includes live transcription. This option is useful when you need to work quickly on a mobile device, for example on a phone or tablet, or when your computer is not available.
WebApp transcription runs in the browser and is meant as a practical mobile option. For confidential or professional assignments that require local processing, glossary support, number highlighting, or full interpreter controls, use the installable Live Transcription app.
