simple.STT - Transcription App

simpleSTT turns audio and video into clean, accurate text using the world's best AI — and it sends your audio straight to them: OpenAI, Google and ElevenLabs. Never an unknown server. Never an unnamed model.

Do one thing. Do it well.
No bloat. No account. No detours for your data. Pick a file, choose a model, get your transcript.

GOES ONLY TO THE AI YOU TRUST
• Your audio is sent directly to OpenAI, Google or ElevenLabs — the world's most trusted AI labs
• Never routed through an unknown server, never handed to an unnamed model
• No simpleSTT server in the middle — it's device-to-provider, with your own API key
• Transcripts are stored locally on your device

PAY ONCE — THEN JUST CENTS
• Buy the app once for lifetime access — no subscription required

WHO IT'S FOR
Journalists, researchers, students, lawyers, doctors, therapists, podcasters — and anyone who'd rather read than re-listen.
