StillWren
What it is
StillWren transcribes client meetings, depositions, and dictation in a browser on the user’s device. Users can record through a microphone or upload audio and video files up to 500 MB. Whisper models support word timestamps, custom vocabulary, and filler-word cleanup; on-device diarization separates speakers and color-codes transcript lines. Its on-device AI suite can produce summaries, follow-ups, key decisions, and chapter markers, and answer questions from transcript content. Transcription supports more than 100 languages, with translation into more than 30. Users can search transcripts, export to DOCX, PDF, TXT, SRT, and other formats, and apply rule-based redaction to names and identifiers. Transcripts are held in the browser’s local database. Optional sync encrypts data on-device with a passphrase-derived key. Transcription and dictation work offline after a one-time model download. StillWren specifies desktop Chrome or Edge, and its AI drafting suite requires a WebGPU-capable browser. The free plan includes 50 minutes monthly without an account or 300 with a free account, with the full editor and exports.
