# TranscriptX documentation

TranscriptX is a local-first workbench for people who want to think with transcripts. You import files you already have, run analysis on your machine, and keep the results.

It does **not** transcribe audio in the app. Bring JSON, SRT, VTT, or similar files, then use **Import Transcript**.

**See how it works:** [first analysis](workflows/first-analysis.md) — import the sample, run **Balanced**, read **Overview**.  
**Everyday jobs:** [Using TranscriptX](workflows/index.md).  
**Is this for me?** [How TranscriptX compares](comparison.md).  
**Privacy:** files stay on your computer; optional local AI is [Ollama](runtime/llm.md) and off by default.

The GitHub [README](https://github.com/glen-w/TranscriptX#readme) is the same first-run story.
