Rescript

Edit videos like you edit text — fully offline, in your browser.

Rescript is an open-source, transcript-based video editor. Drop in a video and it is transcribed locally with per-word timestamps and speaker labels. Delete words in the transcript and the corresponding clip is cut from the video. Export the final cut to MP4 — without your video ever leaving your device.

• 🔒 Private by design — no server, no auth, no uploads; all media processing happens on-device
• 📝 Word-level editing — select words, press ⌫, the cut follows the text
• 🧹 Filler removal — one-click cut of "um", "uh", and similar fillers (use Verbatim mode to keep them in the transcript)
• 🗣️ Speaker diarization — the transcript is grouped by speaker
• 🎬 Timeline — waveform, word labels, cut regions, playhead, zoom
• ⚡ Live preview — playback skips your cuts in real time
• 📦 In-browser export — frame-accurate MP4 render with ffmpeg.wasm

Note on "offline": the AI models (~90 MB total) are downloaded from the Hugging Face Hub the first time you transcribe, then cached in browser storage. After that, everything — transcription, editing, export — works with the network fully disconnected. Your media and transcript never leave the device; the only third-party request the app makes is anonymous page analytics (Google Analytics), which fails
