Transcription for ADHD, Autism, Hearing Impairment, and Neurodivergent Users
For people with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, hearing impairment, auditory processing disorder, or who are non-native speakers, a searchable transcript is not a convenience. It is the difference between having access to information and not. Thoth runs entirely on your Mac, no cloud, no upload, no account.
Who uses Thoth for accessibility
- ADHD. Re-listening to an hour of audio to find one detail is not a viable workflow. A transcript you can Cmd-F, skim, and read non-linearly fits how ADHD attention actually works. Live transcription during the conversation means you can follow along in text rather than fighting to stay locked on audio.
- Autism and auditory processing differences. Reading is predictable; audio is not. A transcript lets you control the pace, re-read ambiguous phrases, and process information in your own time without the pressure of a recording that keeps moving.
- Hearing impairment and hard of hearing. Thoth's live transcript panel shows words in real time, on your Mac, without any audio reaching a third-party server. For medical appointments, therapy, or any conversation you need a record of, the text is there the moment it is spoken.
- Dyslexia. Having the transcript lets you use your own text-to-speech tools, adjust font size, or export to any reading environment that works for you. The format is yours to control.
- Non-native speakers. Spoken language at full speed is harder to process than text. A transcript you can pause on, re-read, and look things up in removes that pressure entirely. Thoth supports 99 languages and auto-detects which one is being spoken.
Why privacy matters more for sensitive recordings
- Therapy and psychiatric appointments should not be on a cloud server. Recordings of mental health sessions are among the most sensitive data anyone produces. Uploading them to a third-party transcription service means a vendor holds that data under their retention policy and their security posture. Thoth processes everything locally. Nothing is transmitted.
- Medical consultations and diagnostic appointments. A record of what your doctor said is useful. A copy of that recording sitting on a US commercial server, processed by vendor employees or AI systems, is a different thing entirely. On-device means the only copy is yours.
- No per-minute charges. Accessibility is a daily need, not an occasional one. Transcription services that charge per audio minute make heavy use financially punishing. Thoth is a flat annual subscription with no recording limits on Pro.
How Thoth works
- Live transcript in a floating panel. Words appear on screen as they are spoken. Detach the panel to a second monitor or keep it alongside your video call. No delay to the cloud: the model runs on your Mac's Neural Engine.
- Full transcript after recording. Batch transcription with speaker detection labels who said what. Export to PDF, Word, Markdown, or plain text for use in any reading or note-taking app.
- Works offline, everywhere. Lecture halls, clinics, anywhere with no internet. Recording and transcription have no connectivity requirement.
- No account, no data collected. Thoth has no user database. There is nothing to breach, subpoena, or sell. Purchases go through Apple directly.
