Frequently asked about Spokenly
How much does Spokenly cost?
Spokenly is a paid product — published pricing: $24.99 one-time. Pricing changes; verify on the vendor's own page before budgeting.
Does Spokenly work on Mac, Windows and Linux?
Spokenly runs on macOS. It is not listed for other platforms; check the vendor for anything beyond macOS.
How do I get started with Spokenly?
There is nothing to install — Spokenly is used in the browser. Create an account on the vendor's site and upload or connect your audio.
How many languages does Spokenly support?
Spokenly lists 99 languages. That is the Whisper-family multilingual set, so quality varies by language — English and the large European languages are strongest.
Does Spokenly identify different speakers?
No. Spokenly 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 Spokenly give word-level timestamps?
No — Spokenly produces segment or sentence timing only, so subtitle cues can land mid-word.
Can Spokenly transcribe live audio?
No — Spokenly works on finished files, not a live stream.
Is Spokenly HIPAA compliant?
Spokenly 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 Spokenly?
macOS only.
Who is Spokenly best for?
Mac users wanting offline Whisper dictation into any text field with a one-time price.
Does Spokenly run offline?
Spokenly 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 Spokenly in the browser?
No — Spokenly is a macOS application, not a web app. You install it rather than sign in to it.

Can I automate Spokenly-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.
