LearnTranscriber 0.1.0
The first public release of LearnTranscriber: live transcripts for lectures, videos and meetings on your Mac, with a floating assistant you can ask about what was said.
Install
- Download LearnTranscriber-arm64.dmg below. It is for Apple Silicon Macs on macOS 14 or newer.
- Open it and drag LearnTranscriber to Applications.
- The app is not notarized by Apple, so macOS blocks its first launch. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to Security, choose Open Anyway next to LearnTranscriber and confirm with your password (Apple's instructions).
- A short guided setup connects the AI that answers, tests your microphone and asks for each macOS permission in turn.
What's in it
- Live transcripts from Apple Speech on your Mac, a local Whisper server, or a cloud transcription service.
- A floating assistant that answers questions about what was said, with a screenshot or selected text when you add one.
- Five built-in assistants (English, Math, Programming, Note Taker and General) and your own.
- Sessions saved on your Mac, with summaries and Markdown notes.
- Answers from ChatGPT sign-in, an API key (OpenAI, Gemini or OpenRouter), a custom endpoint or a local model.

The app is signed with the project's own code-signing certificate, LearnTranscriber Dev. Later releases use the same certificate, so macOS keeps the permissions you granted when you install an update over this version.
