Drop an audio or video file. Get an accurate transcript. 100% offline.
Weesper Transcribe turns any audio or video file into clean, editable text on your Mac. No cloud, no account, no microphone access. Just drop a file and read the result. Pay once; there's no subscription.
WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
- Pay once, no subscription
A one-time Pro unlock, not a monthly bill. Most transcription apps rent you access; this one is yours.
- 100% offline and private
Transcription runs on your Mac with on-device Whisper models. Nothing is uploaded, no audio leaves your machine. No microphone or Accessibility permission required.
- Quality is never limited
Every speech model, including the most accurate large ones, is available for free. You judge the real quality before you ever pay.
- Search everything you've transcribed
Full-text and meaning-based (semantic) search across your whole history, on-device. Find that one sentence from a meeting last month, even across languages.
- Export anywhere
Plain text, SRT and VTT subtitles, Word (DOCX), PDF, Markdown, HTML, CSV, JSON. Built for subtitles, reports, and notes alike.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Drop an audio or video file (MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4, MOV, and more)
2. Pick a language or let it auto-detect (about 57 languages)
3. Transcribe locally on your Mac. Watch real progress, cancel anytime
4. Edit, search, click any timestamp to play, and export
