About Harvey

Harvey is a desktop application for qualitative researchers and anyone working with multimedia content. It streamlines the research workflow by integrating a powerful suite of tools into a single, cohesive environment:

• Transcribe audio and video with local AI models.
• Translate transcripts from one language to another.
• Edit and annotate transcripts, documents, PDFs, and images.
• Manage all your project files in one place.

Harvey is named in honor of Sociologist Harvey Sacks (1935-1975), whose foundational work revolutionized social research methods.

Privacy First

Privacy is the core of Harvey’s design. All core AI functionalities, like transcription and diarization (speaker identification), run 100% locally on your computer. You download the AI models once and can use them forever offline. Your data never leaves your device.

It’s an application built by researchers, for researchers.
