HearWrite PDF is a privacy-focused desktop transcription application created by Don Fritz. It converts a single audio recording or an entire folder of recordings into polished PDF and editable TXT transcripts.

For folders containing multiple recordings, users can arrange files by date and time or filename, create one combined transcript, individual transcripts, or both, and optionally organize the combined document into calendar-date sections.

HearWrite PDF processes recordings locally. It does not require an account and contains no email system, cloud upload, daily scheduler, radio-monitoring rules, or recording database.

The application supports common audio and video formats and is available as a portable Windows executable and a Debian-compatible release.
