AI transcription features that matter

Hold-to-speak Transcribe mode

Hold the always-on-top pill, speak, release — local transcription pastes at your cursor in email, Slack, Word, or IDEs. Professional dictation with auto-punctuation.

Note Taking mode (Pro)

Click to start/stop long sessions — meetings, calls, videos. Each transcript batch and the final AI summary can sync to Account → Notes.

On-device model (~~57 MB)

Downloaded once into C:\VocalFuse\models\. Audio is never sent to a cloud speech API — only text may sync on Pro.

Flat monthly pricing

Skip per-minute cloud bills. Basic $5/mo unlimited dictation; Pro $10/mo adds AI summaries, Continuous mode, and optional Gmail delivery.

Three recording modes

Mode	Plan	What it does
Transcribe	Basic / Pro	Hold pill → local paste at cursor (works without key)
Note Taking	Pro	Click start/stop → AI summary + Account → Notes sync
Continuous	Pro	Background 60-second clips → local bullets only

Local AI transcription vs cloud APIs

Cloud AI transcription charges per minute, stores audio remotely, and adds network latency. VocalFuse: flat fee, audio on your machine, transcription local. Need longer capture? VocalFuse Pro adds Note Taking, Continuous, Account → Notes, and Gmail for $10/mo. See Local AI guide.

Have Zoom recordings with no transcript? Zoom only transcribes cloud recordings on paid plans — our Zoom transcription guide covers every method, free and paid, including the local M4A workflow.

AI Transcription FAQ

Is VocalFuse AI transcription really local?

Yes. A ~57 MB transcription model downloads on first launch into your PC and runs inference on-device for Transcribe, Note Taking, and Continuous modes. No cloud speech API processes your audio.

Does AI transcription work offline?

After the model downloads, hold-to-speak dictation works offline. You need internet for license checks, first model download, Pro AI summaries, and optional Account → Notes sync.

What is included in Basic vs Pro?

Basic ($5/mo): unlimited Transcribe mode (hold the pill, paste at cursor). Pro ($10/mo): adds Note Taking with AI summaries, Continuous mode, Account → Notes sync, and optional Gmail delivery.

How fast is local AI transcription?

Because inference runs on your CPU (no cloud round-trip), dictation feels responsive once the model is loaded. Faster machines reduce “Working…” time between hold and paste.

Can VocalFuse transcribe pre-recorded files?

VocalFuse transcribes live microphone audio in Transcribe, Note Taking, and Continuous modes. It does not import audio files from disk.
