Freemium
Added on Nov 03,2026
Whisper Web is an AI-powered speech recognition tool that turns audio into text directly in your web browser, using the OpenAI Whisper model.
On the Free plan, transcription runs locally on your own device using WebGPU and WebAssembly, so audio files never leave your computer. There is nothing to download or install, and no account or API key is needed to get started.
It supports 99 languages, including English, Chinese, Spanish, French, German and Japanese, and detects the spoken language automatically, so there is no need to pick one manually.
Once the model has been downloaded on your first visit, the Free plan also works offline, which suits people who need to transcribe recordings without an internet connection.
Key features include browser-based processing with WebGPU acceleration, automatic language detection, unlimited transcriptions on the Free plan, and optional cloud processing for larger jobs.
The Unlimited plan moves selected files to cloud processing, handling recordings of up to 10 hours and 5 GB, batch uploads of up to 50 files at once, and syncing of transcripts across all your devices. Cloud files are deleted after transcription is complete.
Pricing: the Free plan covers files up to 200 MB and 20 minutes with no cap on the number of transcriptions. Whisper Web Unlimited costs US$20 per month, or US$10 per month billed yearly, and can be cancelled at any time.
It is suited to students, journalists, podcasters, researchers, developers and creators who want private, accurate speech-to-text without installing software.
