Frequently asked questions

Is my audio uploaded to a server?

No. The speech-recognition model (OpenAI Whisper) downloads once and runs entirely in your browser, so your recording never leaves your device.

What languages does it support?

This tool transcribes English audio only. It uses a fast, on-device English speech model, so clear English recordings transcribe best. Other languages are not supported.

Can I get subtitles?

Yes. Download the result as an .srt subtitle file with timestamps, or as plain .txt.

Why is the first run slow?

The AI model (~tens of MB) is downloaded the first time, then cached. Transcription runs roughly in real time, so longer files take longer.
