# Aiko Alternative for Mac: An App Like Aiko

Canonical page: https://macbase.app/alternatives/aiko

Transcription app that turns recordings into text using Whisper, running entirely on your device.

Aiko is free and keeps your audio on the Mac, but it mainly turns recordings into text. Alternatives add speaker labels, live transcripts during calls, summaries, or a way to edit the text alongside the audio.
