Runs OpenAI's Whisper speech recognition inside your own browser.
A demo that downloads a Whisper model into the tab and transcribes audio with WebGPU or WebAssembly, so nothing is uploaded and it keeps working once the network is gone. Accuracy on clear English is close to the paid transcription services. The price is patience: the first run fetches hundreds of megabytes of model weights.
Questions
Works the moment the page loads. No account, no email, no trial. The model download is large and transcription runs at your machine's speed — a one-hour recording is not a five-minute job.
No. Whisper Web does the work inside your browser, so the file never leaves your device — you can load the page, disconnect from the network, and it still works. That makes it a reasonable choice for material containing personal data.
