Pro Unlock
Whisper Transcription is free and lets you transcribe audio with the Tiny and Base models. They're fast and very accurate, but for the best results you should consider upgrading to Pro to use the Tiny (English), Medium and Large models, for industry leading transcription quality. Depending on your usecase you might want to use the Large version. You can always upgrade to the Pro version later. Pro also lets you batch transcribe multiple files, record system audio, transcribe podcasts and more.

Ratings and Reviews
Couldn't Be Better, 100%
I used a SONY ICDUX523 digital Micro Recorder, bought in 2013, to make a 43 second recording that was 62 words long, to test the Whisper App (the Medium Quality, English only version, which is free on the App Store). It was tested on a Mac Studio M1 Max. The recording was transferred to the Mac using the recorder’s built-in USB-A output (connected to the Mac with a USB-A to USB-C cable). After transferring the audio file to the Mac, the file was dropped onto the Whisper App window.
Whisper perfectly transcribed 100% of the words (but did skip several occurrences of “uh”, which is a bad habit I have). The words ranged in size from 1-13 characters each, & included 4 contractions & one letter-number combination & one ordinal number. Whisper couldn’t have done any better, & there was no need to send the audio file to Apple for the transcription, as required by other Apps. 5*.
The Best
I needed an app that was using the new AI language models to provide actually good Russian Transcriptions. This app allows you to download different size language models depending on what you need. Instead of good i got GREAT transcriptions immediately available in subtitle (SRT or VTT) format. I have been using this app for 5 months now and after 2 months i did the premium one time payment which was totally inexpensive and totally worth it for me. You guys did great with this app. Easy to use, fast, easy to understand and most importantly, accurate transcriptions. Also, i checked their website and they seem to be working on new apps that offer real time speech to text or live captions for streaming video. That would be cool. Highly recommended app and there isn't any better in the app store at the moment.
Fantastic tool I use daily
This has become an invaluable tool for me. I use it for transcribing single person voice memos mainly but I've used it to transcribe 3 hour long conversations using the "Transcribe Podcast" feature and it worked perfectly. Whisper Transcribe has best I've found for something like that by far.
I've seen a couple reviews that complain about this not working how they want but I wanted to add some positive commentary because the developer is very transparent about what this app can do right now and where it is headed. There is even a roadmap with what they are working on and what is coming up next. Big fixes, optimizations and new features show up all the time, I think it's amazing. Keep up the great work!
