In plain words

Ermine.ai is a speech recording and transcription tool that processes audio entirely on the user's device using WebAssembly technology. It converts spoken words into text without sending data to external servers. The tool is designed for anyone needing to transcribe audio locally, from students and researchers to professionals who prioritize privacy. Its client-side processing means transcription happens offline without relying on cloud services.
