Fast, simple cross-platform audio editor for clean-up work.
Best for quick fades, trims, and effects on single-track audio without the Audacity learning curve. Pricing: free.

Frequently asked about Ocenaudio
Is Ocenaudio free?
Yes. Ocenaudio is free.
Does Ocenaudio work on Mac, Windows and Linux?
Ocenaudio runs on macOS, Windows and Linux.
How do I get started with Ocenaudio?
There is nothing to install — Ocenaudio is used in the browser. Create an account on the vendor's site and upload or connect your audio.
Does Ocenaudio identify different speakers?
No. Ocenaudio does not label speakers; a conversation comes back as one continuous text. If you need speaker labels, that is a separate tool or a different service.
Does Ocenaudio give word-level timestamps?
No — Ocenaudio produces segment or sentence timing only, so subtitle cues can land mid-word.
Can Ocenaudio transcribe live audio?
No — Ocenaudio works on finished files, not a live stream.
Is Ocenaudio HIPAA compliant?
Ocenaudio does not claim HIPAA compliance. For PHI, run it on infrastructure you control or choose a service that will sign a BAA.
What are the limitations of Ocenaudio?
Single-track-only; no multitrack mixing.
Who is Ocenaudio best for?
Quick fades, trims, and effects on single-track audio without the Audacity learning curve.
Does Ocenaudio run offline?
Ocenaudio runs on your own machine as a desktop app. Check whether the model runs locally or calls a cloud service — some desktop tools do both.
Can I use Ocenaudio in the browser?
No — Ocenaudio is a macOS, Windows and Linux application, not a web app. You install it rather than sign in to it.

Can I automate Ocenaudio-style transcription without running it myself?
Yes. If what you want is transcripts rather than the tool itself, Whipscribe does the same job as a hosted API: submit a file or URL, poll a job id, pull the result as txt, json, srt, vtt or docx. $0.012 a minute — about $0.72 an audio hour — bought as credits that never expire. The automation recipes on this site show it wired to Drive folders, Zoom recordings, S3 buckets and no-code platforms.
Whipscribe is a hosted transcription service. If you want transcripts without running infrastructure, paste a URL or drop a file in the form below — you'll have a transcript in seconds.
