MacWhisper for Web

Product snapshot

MacWhisper is a compact transcription app built on Whisper technology that converts audio into text quickly and accurately. Designed for capturing lectures, meetings, and interviews, it performs all processing locally so your recordings stay on your device rather than being uploaded to external servers.

Core capabilities

• Save transcripts in the native .whisper file format for later editing and archiving
• Edit specific sections of the transcript directly to correct or refine output
• Produce time-aligned text so words link back to the original audio for easy review
• Accept common audio file types such as MP3, WAV, and M4A
• Record from any connected input or drop files onto the app for instant transcription
• Handle speech in more than 100 languages and dialects

Pro edition highlights

• Capture system audio (loopback) to transcribe sound played by the computer
• Process many files at once with batch transcription to save time on large projects
• Integrate with ChatGPT for advanced post-processing, summaries, or follow-up queries
• Use WhisperKit and the Distilled models for faster or tuned transcriptions
• Receive priority technical support and faster assistance when needed

Supported formats and languages

MacWhisper accepts a wide range of audio formats (for example MP3, WAV, M4A) and supports transcription across 100+ languages. This makes it suitable for multilingual environments and diverse media sources.

Workflow and usability

The interface emphasizes simplicity: drag and drop files, select a device to record from, and start transcribing. Transcripts are synchronized with the audio for quick navigation, and individual segments can be edited to improve accuracy. Because the app runs on your machine, sensitive recordings remain private.

Who benefits most

This tool fits professionals, students, and researchers who need reliable, on-device transcription for meetings, lectures, interviews, and podcasts — especially when privacy and ease of use are priorities.
