Whisper Audio Transcription
Convert speech in an uploaded file, recording or audio URL into editable text with a Whisper model in the browser. The workspace also provides waveform regions and spectrogram inspection.
Core capabilities

- Recording and file input
- Waveform regions and spectrogram
- Multiple recognition languages
How it works
Whisper converts audio samples into tokens representing spoken language. The selected language helps guide recognition, while recording quality, accents, noise and overlapping speakers influence accuracy.
Transcription is probabilistic and can hallucinate or omit words. Names, numbers, quotations and safety-critical content must be checked against the source audio.
How to use Whisper Audio Transcription

Practical uses
- Drafting interview and meeting notes

Limitations
Accuracy is not guaranteed. Background noise, music, multiple speakers and specialized vocabulary can reduce quality. Large recordings require more memory and time, and browser sessions can be interrupted.
Privacy and processing
The Whisper model is designed to perform transcription in the browser after model download. An audio URL is fetched from its source, so the privacy properties of that external host also apply.
