Hello, I released this recently, take a look: https://bigwav.app

bigwav.app – Transcription and Annotation using just a web browser launched on July 2, 2023 with 29 votes, #1,435 of 4,347 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

In plain words

Bigwav.app is a web-based tool for transcribing and annotating audio files directly in a browser, with no installation required. It serves researchers, journalists, and content creators who need to convert speech to text and add notes to recordings. The platform's main advantage is its accessibility—users can start working immediately through their web browser without downloading software or managing complex setups.
