What Koeva does

Koeva is a local-first transcription app for Windows. Use it to dictate text into your workflow, capture system audio, transcribe supported audio or video files, or translate a transcript without sending your audio to a remote transcription service.

The app uses your computer hardware to run the speech model. A compatible dedicated graphics card delivers the best experience, while CPU processing remains available as a fallback on supported machines.

Core features

  • Private by design: audio processing stays on your computer.
  • Fast dictation: speak naturally and receive editable text.
  • System audio: capture the sound playing through a selected Windows output.
  • File transcription: import a supported audio or video file when you need a complete transcript.
  • Custom spellings: guide Koeva toward the correct spelling for names, terms, and similar-sounding words.
  • Local translation on paid plans: choose the transcript language that fits your workflow.
