OpenAI's MacWhisper is a top-of-the-line transcription technology that seamlessly converts audio files into text. It is specifically optimized for use on Mac computers and has a user-friendly drag and drop interface that delivers precise transcriptions in a matter of seconds. MacWhisper is compatible with various audio and video formats, such as MP3, WAV, M4A, and MP4, and supports transcription in over 100 languages. Additionally, it has a Reader Mode that allows for easy editing and deletion of transcript segments, as well as the ability to search and highlight specific words.
MacWhisper Pro incorporates the Large model, which provides the most accurate transcriptions but takes longer to generate. The regular version of MacWhisper employs the Tiny (for English only) and Base (for 100 languages) models, which still deliver fast and accurate transcriptions. Selecting the language for transcription can further improve the accuracy of the results.
MacWhisper also offers advanced features such as the ability to combine segments into sentences, export transcripts as CSV files, support for Monterey, translation of transcriptions, an auto-updater, and the ability to add custom models and transcribe podcasts. MacWhisper is available for free, or users can opt for the Pro version, which involves a small fee.
