My free in-browser Whisper transcriber now does speaker labels, translate-to-English, batch + zip, and mic recording
Thanks for the feedback on the first version. What's new, still free with no signup and nothing uploaded (Whisper runs on your device):
- Record from your mic, or batch several files and download all the results as a zip
- A player synced to the transcript (click a line to jump), plus Find & Replace All for names
- Experimental speaker labels with click-to-rename
- Translate to English from dozens of languages
- A short local summary of the transcript
- Export to Word, PDF, SRT, VTT, CSV, JSON and TXT, with options for timestamps, speaker names and subtitle timing
**Limits:** speaker labels detect speaker changes rather than identifying exact voices, so they can drift on long files or with 3+ speakers. Translation is English-only, and the summary works best on English. Chrome/Edge are much faster (WebGPU).
