WhisperAI

What is WhisperAI?

WhisperAI is a browser-based transcription service built on top of OpenAI's Whisper model — one of the most accurate speech recognition systems available. You upload an audio or video file, and WhisperAI converts it to text in minutes. No software to install, no technical setup, no limits on file length.

The key advantage over older transcription services: speaker diarisation. WhisperAI identifies and labels who said what throughout a recording — so instead of a wall of text, you get a structured conversation with each speaker on their own line.

Trusted by 150,000+ professionals for meetings, interviews, podcasts, and video content.

The magic moment

Upload a 45-minute team meeting recording. In a few minutes you get back a clean transcript with each speaker's lines labelled — "Sarah: Let's look at Q3 results..." — correctly punctuated, ready to search or share. What would take a human transcriber hours costs you two minutes of waiting.
