What is GoWhisper?
GoWhisper is a desktop app for Mac and Windows that transcribes audio and video locally using Whisper models. Nothing is uploaded, so interviews and recordings stay on your machine. It is sold as a one-time purchase rather than a subscription.
Drop in wav, mp3, m4a, mp4, mov or mkv files, or record from the microphone, then pick a language or let it auto-detect from 99 options. Larger models trade speed for accuracy, and transcripts export as SRT, TXT, VTT or CSV.
The free tier includes the Tiny and Base models with unlimited use. The paid Pro license unlocks all models, find and replace, transcription from YouTube and podcasts, and API-based transcription.
