Problem
Professionals such as journalists, lawyers, researchers, and film editors need accurate, searchable transcripts of audio and video recordings, but existing cloud‑based services require uploading sensitive files, expose data to privacy risks, and often charge per‑minute fees.
Solution
WhisperScript delivers offline, on‑device transcription for macOS and Windows, allowing users to drop audio or video files and receive instant, searchable text without any cloud interaction. The application runs locally using state‑of‑the‑art open‑source models that support 99 languages, providing unlimited transcription with no per‑minute cost. Integrated editing tools let users correct transcripts while syncing with playback, and batch processing enables handling multiple files simultaneously. Transcripts can be exported in TXT, CSV, SRT, or VTT formats for captions, subtitles, or further analysis. By keeping all processing on the user’s machine, WhisperScript ensures full data privacy while offering flat‑rate subscription or lifetime licensing options.
