Overview

Whisper Transcriber transcribes audio into text using the amazing Whisper model from OpenAI. It supports both official OpenAI API and locally deployed Whisper models.

This simple tool is published for free for those who need to easily transcribe complex audio with OpenAI's Whisper models, all under your full control.

Usage

You can now use Whisper Transcriber tool either with official OpenAI API, or with locally deployed Whisper models.

With OpenAI API

  1. Register and obtain an OpenAI developer key from OpenAI (See video guide)
  2. Open Transcriber
  3. Type your key (If you wish this to be filled automatically, setup an environment variable OPENAI_API_KEY)
  4. Select target language: See Dev Log for a full list of supported languages.
  5. Start recording or load existing audio files to transcribe!

With Locally Deployed Models

  1. Pick "Local" from dropdown to use locally deployed models.

  3. Pick a language or use "Auto" for automatic language detection.
  4. When picking from available models, it will automatically download the models to the executable folder.

If you want to speed up the process, you can download commonly used models from the download section of the website and place those model files yourself. See video guide for detail.
