About this tool
Audio & Video to Text Transcriber made simple.
Speech recognition runs locally in your browser with the multilingual Whisper Tiny model. On first use, the browser downloads about 43 MB of open model files from Hugging Face; the recording itself is never sent there or to UsefulVerse. Your browser may cache the model for later, but can remove that cache. The model is compact, so review names, numbers and punctuation for mistakes. There is no fixed server file-size or duration quota; practical limits depend on your device, browser, memory, supported media codecs, battery and available storage. A desktop or laptop is strongly recommended for long or high-resolution recordings. Internet access is needed to download the model the first time.
