When you upload audio to cloud services, your corporate discussions, client details, and intellectual property are stored on remote infrastructure.

Attorney-Client & HIPAA Compliant

For legal and healthcare teams, third-party cloud uploads violate confidentiality agreements. Because ScribeFlux operates in an air-gapped environment on your PC or Mac, compliance is 100% guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Switching from Otter.ai: FAQ

Common questions about replacing cloud transcription with ScribeFlux PRO.

Can ScribeFlux record and transcribe meetings without an invasive bot? ▼

Yes! Otter.ai requires a bot (OtterPilot) to join your meeting as an attendee, which many companies, clients, and universities ban. With ScribeFlux, you can record internal audio directly or drop meeting recordings (MP4, Zoom MP3, Teams video) into the app and get instant transcripts with zero external bots.

How does ScribeFlux achieve broadcast-quality accuracy without cloud servers? ▼

ScribeFlux is powered by OpenAI's official Whisper models (up to Large-v3 and Large-v3 Turbo) compiled with high-performance C++ (whisper.cpp). It leverages your local graphics card (NVIDIA CUDA or Apple Metal) to run the exact same neural network inference locally that cloud services run on remote servers.

Is there really no recurring monthly subscription? ▼

Yes! We believe users should own their software. ScribeFlux PRO offers Lifetime licenses starting from $24.99 (Solo) and $39.99 (Personal, 3 computers). You pay once and can transcribe unlimited hours forever without recurring credit card charges.
