Shortlist AILYZE when conducting and transcribing ai-led research interviews at scale matters most, and MacWhisper when journalists and researchers transcribing recorded interviews matters most. Try them side by side on real calls before deciding — needs vary by team.

AILYZE is a web-based AI platform for qualitative data analysis, built primarily for researchers, academics, and organizations working with unstructured data. Beyond analyzing uploaded text, it offers an AI Avatar Interviewer that autonomously conducts semi-structured voice interviews in multiple languages, capturing participant responses and automatically transcribing them. Users can also upload audio and video files (such as MP3, WAV, MP4, and AVI) for transcription, after which the transcripts can be analyzed alongside documents. Once data is captured, AILYZE applies AI-driven thematic analysis, content and frequency analysis, cross-segment comparison, summarization, and a chat-with-your-document feature, producing reports and visualizations. It accepts documents (PDF, DOCX) and spreadsheets (XLSX, CSV) and supports 100+ languages, including colloquial dialects. The product emphasizes data security, stating uploaded data is encrypted and not used to train its models. It is used by academic researchers, universities, healthcare organizations, and non-profits, and is accessed entirely through the browser without local installation.

MacWhisper is a native macOS (and iOS) transcription app built by indie developer Jordi Bruin under his Amsterdam-based studio Goodsnooze. It uses OpenAI's Whisper models (and NVIDIA Parakeet) to turn audio and video into editable text directly on the user's device, so recordings never need to be sent to the cloud. Beyond transcribing existing files, MacWhisper can record and transcribe meetings from conferencing apps such as Zoom, Teams, Webex, Skype, Chime, and Discord, as well as system audio and microphone input, making it practical as a meeting transcription tool. It supports more than 100 languages and offers features like batch transcription, speaker grouping, search, and real-time dictation. Because all processing happens locally, it appeals to users with privacy and confidentiality requirements who prefer not to route sensitive conversations through third-party servers. The company is independently funded and has not been acquired. MacWhisper is distributed through its own website and the Mac App Store, with a free tier for basic offline transcription and paid options for advanced capabilities. It is best for Mac users who want a fast, private, on-device way to transcribe meetings and recordings. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
