What it does
Whisper Web turns audio, video and microphone recordings into editable text in your browser. The selected media is decoded and transcribed on your device—no account or media upload required. Choose Tiny, Base or Small Whisper models, use WebAssembly or WebGPU where supported, then export TXT, JSON, SRT or VTT. A separate workflow handles local files up to 1 GB or one hour.
Free audio and video transcription in 99 languages. Edit text and export TXT, SRT or VTT in your browser. No account or media upload.
Turn MP3, M4A, WAV or supported video into editable text, timestamps and subtitles on your device. Start with a file up to 300 MB and 20 minutes, or use the large-file tool for up to 1 GB and 1 hour. Tiny downloads less and usually runs faster. Base and Small need larger downloads, more memory and more processing time; accuracy depends on your recording. CPU works on more devices. GPU may be faster on compatible devices, but uses graphics memory and may fail on unsupported browsers. Model files download on first use. The browser may reuse cached files, but can remove them. Ready means loaded for this session; it does not confirm a permanent offline copy. Processing happens on this device.…from whisperwebfree.com

Even a lot of them that claimed to be “local” or “on-device” were still black boxes that left me wondering where my audio really went. So I built Whispering. It’s open-source, local-first, and most importantly, transparent with your data. Your data is stored locally on your device, and your audio goes directly from your machine to a local provider (Whisper C++, Speaches, etc.) or your chosen…
Bulk Creation of Transcripts from YouTube Playlists with Whisper2023 · github.com · ▲125I know there are various tools that are supposed to make this easy, but I couldn't find anything that did everything I wanted, so I made this today for fun. The web-based offerings all take forever and seem flaky, and you need to process one video at a time, with no control over the transcription settings. In contrast, my script lets you convert a whole playlist in bulk with full control over everything. It's truly easy to use-- you can clone the repo, install to a venv, and be generating a folder full of high quality transcript text files in under 5 minutes. All you need to do is supply the…
