Overview
Bocca is an on-device, offline AI tool for transcription and prompt-generation designed for professionals and content workflows. Privacy is emphasized because transcription occurs locally on the device with no cloud processing. Based on the homepage and Product Hunt, Bocca provides push-to-talk in any app via a global shortcut, transcribes audio (and video) to text, lets you choose AI models (Whisper-based), supports multilingual transcription with accents and dialects, and offers export workflows for content creation. It operates offline/on-device with low latency and privacy protections. Platform focus is macOS per Product Hunt, with no Windows or Android plans announced; a stable download page or App Store entry is not clearly available on bocca.dev due to several 404s. Pricing highlights include a Free plan ($0) with 50 transcriptions per month and a Premium one-time payment of $25 for unlimited transcriptions; pricing pages across the site appear inconsistent or missing. The Product Hunt listing corroborates offline operation, Whisper models, macOS focus, and community feedback. Unresolved questions include system requirements, official download method, refund policy, and enterprise/licensing options.
