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.

■ New
• Free users can now use all models! See how much the quality improves when using the largest models. You won't be able to copy, export or otherwise use the transcript unless you upgrade to Pro.

■ Improvements
• When transcribing meetings and other recordings with multiple recordings, the progress bar now shows more clearly how many files are remaining
• Fixed the model and language picker designs in the sidebar and other places
• Models are now loaded on first transcription instead of on the homescreen
• The Assistant sidebar is no longer cropped when the window is very small
• Speed improvements all across the app, it should feel a lot snappier!

■ Bugfixes

• Fixed an issue where the main app could not be opened from the global overlay if the main window was closed before

Voice is the new peripheral

Mouse and keyboard are out - voice is in. The current version of Whisper Transcription is half voice transcriber, half LLM. That opens up many unique workflow capabilities such as: 1) record yourself babbling into a voice recorder, upload the audio file into W.T. and use the ChatGPT API to extract the key points and action items from your monologue (this is the BEST way to get organized at the start of your busy day); 2) record your Zoom/Teams/etc. meeting with permission and upload the video or audio file(s) into W.T., then use the ChatGPT API to create recap meeting notes and action items (gone are the times of missing key points because you dissociated for 15 mins) [note: being able to do this all on-device and securely would be the ultimate selling point]; 3) paste a video link and get the full transcription without having to sit through the video, then use the ChatGPT API to extract key points or a summary and decide if the video is worth watching through fully. Great work - huge fan - absolutely recommend. This is how we will all interact with computers from here on out.

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.
