Right there in Finder
Velora registers as a handler for common audio formats plus QuickTime and MPEG-4 video. Right-click → Open With → Velora, or use the in-app picker. Same result.
Feature
Any recording in.
A transcript out.
Voice memos, interview recordings, screen captures with a voice track: open them with Velora from Finder and get a transcript written next to the file. On your Mac, with no per-minute meter running.
How it works
Finder-native, queue-smart.
Video too
MOV and MP4 welcome
Velora decodes the audio track out of video files on your Mac. A screen recording or a lecture capture transcribes just like a voice memo.
Orderly
Busy is not broken
Files opened before the engine is ready, or while another job runs, queue in order and process when their turn comes. Nothing is dropped on the floor.
Free
No per-minute anything
Batch transcription is a paid add-on in most tools. Here it’s the same local model you already downloaded. An hour of audio costs you compute, not money.
The fine print
- Imported files currently produce a plain transcript — speaker labels and timestamps for arbitrary files are on the roadmap (meeting recordings made in Velora do get speaker separation).
- DRM-protected media, directories, and remote URLs are refused by design.
- Long files take local compute time; the job continues in the background and lands in History.
Free. Open source. Local.
