StillWren
StillWren transcribes client meetings, depositions and dictation in the user's browser on their device.
What StillWren is
StillWren transcribes client meetings, depositions and dictation in the user's browser on their device. Users can record through a microphone or upload audio and video files up to 500 MB. It uses Whisper models and supports word timestamps, custom vocabulary and filler-word cleanup. On-device speaker identification separates speakers and color-codes transcript lines. The AI suite can create summaries, follow-ups, key decisions and chapter markers, and answer questions from transcripts. StillWren supports transcription in more than 100 languages and translation into more than 30, with search across the transcript library. Users can export to DOCX, PDF, TXT, SRT and other formats and apply rule-based redaction to names and identifiers on-device. Transcripts remain in the browser's local database; optional sync stores ciphertext encrypted on-device with a passphrase-derived key. Transcription and dictation work offline after a one-time model download. StillWren specifies desktop Chrome or Edge, and its AI drafting suite requires a WebGPU-capable browser. The free plan provides 50 minutes per month without an account or 300 minutes with one.
