Why I built Transcriboar
I’m hard of hearing. Live Transcribe is excellent, but I needed more control and privacy. I built Transcriboar for myself, and because it worked so well, I’m sharing it with you.
What Transcriboar does
- Uses the trusted Android SpeechRecognizer already on your phone
- Works offline*
- No subscriptions or costly AI services
- Save, rename, edit, print, and share transcripts instantly
Perfect for quick shopping lists, capturing ideas, interviews, lectures, and anyone who enjoys hands‑free dictation on the go.
*Transcriboar can run without an internet connection. See the privacy policy for details.
Our approach
We build human‑centered tools that are clear, accessible, private, and practical. We believe all problems are people problems. Technology should feel like Driver’s Ed, not a roadblock—helping you get safely from where you are to where you need to go.
Other things I’ve made
- dzOpen — a local tiled image viewer using OpenSeadragon, JavaScript, and Tkinter.
- ChuckFact.com — a playful Chuck Norris facts site built with React.
- Numeronym.info — a numeronym generator in PHP (think i18n, a11y, k8s).
- Virtual Microscopy — a browser‑based viewer for high‑resolution slide images using OpenSeadragon; in development for education and research workflows.
- And more experiments that explore how small, focused tools can make everyday tasks easier.
