Get your transcript
OpenWhispr transcribes your audio using AI. Processing happens on your device by default — your recording never gets uploaded anywhere.
Turn it into notes
Your transcript becomes a searchable note. Run AI actions to summarize, extract action items, or format it with a template.
Beyond transcription
From raw recording to structured notes.
Don't just get a wall of text. OpenWhispr turns your transcript into organized notes — decisions, action items, key points, and next steps, all pulled from what was actually said.
Run AI actions on any transcript — summarize it, draft a follow-up email, or format it using your team's template.

Private by design
Your recordings stay yours.
Most transcription services upload your audio to the cloud. OpenWhispr processes your recordings on your device by default — sensitive audio never has to leave your computer.
Perfect for sensitive recordings
Legal depositions, medical notes, financial calls, HR interviews — when your recordings contain sensitive information, local processing means they never touch an external server.
Don't take our word for it. Read the source code.

Common questions
What people usually want to know about audio upload.
What audio formats can I upload?
All the common ones — MP3, WAV, M4A, WebM, OGG, FLAC, and AAC. If you recorded it on your phone, laptop, or any other device, it will work.
How accurate is the transcription?
Very accurate. OpenWhispr uses state-of-the-art AI models for transcription. It handles different accents, background noise, and multiple speakers well. You can also choose between local models (private, works offline) or cloud models (faster, even more accurate).
Is there a file size or duration limit?
No artificial limits. You can upload recordings of any length. Longer files take more time to process, but there's no cap on what you can transcribe.
What can I do after transcribing?
Your transcript becomes a note in OpenWhispr. From there you can run AI actions on it — summarize it, extract key points, format it with a template, or draft a follow-up email. It's not just a transcript, it's a starting point.
Is my audio kept private?
Yes. OpenWhispr is private by design. With local processing, your audio never leaves your device. If you opt for cloud processing for faster results, your audio is processed in real time and immediately discarded — nothing is stored.
What languages are supported?
OpenWhispr supports transcription in dozens of languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, and many more. It can also detect the language automatically.
Is it free?
Yes. OpenWhispr is free and open source. Local transcription costs nothing and works offline. A Pro plan is available if you want cloud-powered AI for faster, more accurate results.
