CLI
Install, activate, transcribe — from your terminal.
Install
Self-contained — no desktop app required. One line in your terminal:
curl -fsSL https://edgespeak.com/install.sh | sh
Activate
One-time on this machine. edgespeak-cli trial signs you in from the browser — new accounts get a 7-day free trial, purchased accounts activate directly. Already have a license key? Use edgespeak-cli activate <KEY>, or --stdin to keep it out of your shell history.
edgespeak-cli trial
edgespeak-cli activate <KEY> edgespeak-cli activate --stdin # paste the key, then Ctrl-D
Transcribe
App open → reuses its loaded model; app closed → it starts the local engine itself. Audio stays on your device. align times a known transcript to the word, segment splits raw text into sentences, update refreshes the runtime. JSON output uses the same shape as the gateway API.
edgespeak-cli transcribe meeting.m4a -o meeting.json # word-level timing in JSON edgespeak-cli transcribe meeting.m4a -o transcript.srt edgespeak-cli align meeting.m4a --text-file transcript.txt -o aligned.json edgespeak-cli segment --file transcript.txt -o sentences.json edgespeak-cli models edgespeak-cli status edgespeak-cli update
Agents
Drive it from agents through the EdgeSpeak Skill, or wire the local gateway and MCP into automation and CI.
Privacy
On-device only — audio is processed locally and never uploaded.
