About
Aiko turns audio into text locally, which means a recording of a meeting, a lecture or an interview can be transcribed without being uploaded anywhere. It is built for accuracy rather than novelty, and it handles the formats and long files people actually record. Private by construction, because the audio never leaves the machine.
