About MacWhisper

​MacWhisper enables users to quickly and easily transcribe audio files into text using OpenAI's Whisper technology. Users can record directly from their microphone or any input device on their Mac, or drag and drop audio files for high-quality transcription. It supports recording meetings from platforms like Zoom, Teams, Webex, Skype, Chime, and Discord, with all transcription processing done locally to ensure data privacy. Transcripts can be saved or exported in various formats, including .srt, .vtt, .csv, .docx, .pdf, markdown, and HTML. MacWhisper offers fast transcription speeds, supports over 100 languages, and provides features like search, audio playback synced to transcripts, filler word removal, and speaker addition. The Pro version includes additional functionalities such as batch transcription, YouTube video transcription, AI service integrations (e.g., OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude), system-wide dictation, and translation of audio files into other languages.
