What is Whisper Web?
Whisper Web runs OpenAI's Whisper speech recognition model directly in your browser using Transformers.js. Upload an audio file, record from your microphone or paste a link, and it transcribes the speech to text.
Because the model runs on your own device, your audio is not sent to a server. It supports dozens of languages and can translate speech into English.
