WhisperUI

WhisperUI is a web-based application that leverages OpenAI's Whisper large-v2 model to provide audio transcription and translation services. The platform is designed to be accessible to users of all technical backgrounds, offering a straightforward drag-and-drop interface for uploading audio files. It supports a variety of audio formats including MP3, MP4, MPEG, MPGA, M4A, WAV, OGG, and WEBM, with a maximum file size of 25 MB. Transcriptions can be generated in the original language or translated into English, and the resulting text can be reviewed, downloaded, or converted into SRT subtitle files. The tool also appears to offer text-to-speech functionality and a desktop version, though these features are less detailed on the website.

The application is free to use with basic features, but users must provide their own OpenAI API key, and they pay OpenAI directly for usage. Premium features—such as batch uploading multiple files, unlimited daily uploads, and SRT file generation—are available, though specific pricing for these is not disclosed on the site. WhisperUI is trusted by members of leading organizations and universities, and its reliance on OpenAI Whisper ensures high accuracy in transcription, though final quality depends on audio clarity and background noise.

WhisperUI serves a variety of users including researchers transcribing interviews, journalists converting press conferences, students creating lecture notes, businesses documenting meetings, and language learners practicing listening skills. The platform's emphasis on ease of use and integration with a powerful ASR model makes it a practical tool for anyone needing efficient, accurate speech-to-text conversion.
