- Is this audio transcription tool really free?
- Yes. No account, no credit card, no usage limits — ever. We built it as a free public utility.
- Does my audio get uploaded to a server?
- No. The transcription runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your audio never leaves your device.
- What languages does it support?
- The multilingual Whisper models support 32 languages: Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.
- What audio formats are supported?
- MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG (WhatsApp), FLAC, and WebM — anything your browser can decode. Video files work too.
- How accurate is the transcription?
- The tool uses OpenAI Whisper, one of the most accurate open-source speech recognition models. Choose Whisper Small (~250 MB) for the best accuracy, or Whisper Tiny (~40 MB) for speed.
- Does it work without an internet connection?
- After the model downloads once, yes. The model is cached in your browser, so future transcriptions work fully offline.
