Aiko: Your Minimalist Aesthetic Companion

Boris Weber

12/18/2024

Aiko by Sindre Sorhus is a beautifully designed, minimalist application that enhances your digital workspace while keeping distractions to a minimum.

This app provides high-quality on-device transcription for converting speech to text from meetings, lectures, and more. The transcription is powered by OpenAI's Whisper, which runs locally on your device, ensuring that the audio never leaves your device.

In addition to the transcription feature, you also have the option to export the transcription as subtitles.

Aiko prioritizes accuracy over speed and supports audio in 100 different languages. Some of these languages include Afrikaans, Albanian, Amharic, Arabic, Armenian, Assamese, Azerbaijani, Bangla, Bashkir, Basque, Belarusian, Bosnian, Breton, Bulgarian, Burmese, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Faroese, Finnish, French, Galician, Georgian, German, Greek, Gujarati, Haitian Creole, Hausa, Hawaiian, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese and many more.

This impressive app was made possible thanks to Whisper by OpenAI and whisper.cpp by Georgi Gerganov.

FAQ
Can I edit the text in the app?
I don't plan to support any editing functionality within the app. You can export the transcription and edit it using a proper text editor.
Why is the app so large?
The app size is due to its ability to deliver the highest quality transcription in 100 different languages. Instead of questioning its size, we should appreciate how it manages to maintain a small footprint while offering so much utility.
Why is the transcription so slow?
Aiko prioritizes accuracy over speed. However, performance enhancements are expected in the future.
Why must I keep the app open while it transcribes?
iOS apps are designed with restrictions that prevent them from operating in the background for extended periods of time.
Can I delete some languages to save space?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to remove specific languages as the model has all languages stored together, making it impossible to selectively remove any.

I am an editor at UpdateStar. I started as a support engineer, and am now specialized in writing about general software topics from a usability and performance angle among others. I telecommute from UpdateStar’s Berlin office, when I am not working remote as a digital nomad for UpdateStar. When I'm not analyzing the latest software updates, you can find me exploring new cities, immersing myself in local cultures, and discovering innovative tech trends across the globe.
