Transcribe Audio
AI-powered audio transcription — drop your audio file and get a text transcript. Free, private, no upload.
Need to transcribe a recording, podcast, or voice memo? Drop your audio file and get a full text transcript with timestamps. Uses OpenAI's Whisper model running locally via WebAssembly — your audio never leaves your device.
Choose your spoken language and quality, then download the model. It runs entirely in your browser and is cached for next time.
High quality is more accurate and uses a larger one-time download. Normal works well for clear speech; for some languages such as Chinese, High is noticeably better.

AI Audio Transcription in Your Browser
This tool uses the Whisper speech recognition model compiled to WebAssembly. Choose your language and quality, then download the model once (about 24 MB for Normal, about 41 MB for High). It is cached for future visits. Audio files are decoded in your browser using the Web Audio API, then processed by the AI model to produce a timestamped transcript. Supports MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, FLAC, WebM, and more.
Features
Near-Zero CO₂
Server-based converters upload your file, process it remotely, and send it back — consuming network and data-centre energy on every request. WebConverter runs entirely on your device, so the only energy used is your local CPU. No data transfer, no server electricity.
Install for Offline Use
WebConverter works offline as a Progressive Web App. Click "Add to Home Screen" on mobile or the install button in your browser's address bar. Once installed, you can convert files without any internet connection.
