I’ve been using Aiko from Sidre Sorhus. Also powered by whisper and totally free. It’s been excellent.

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

This looks really useful for anyone not using Adobe Premiere Pro. I wonder if they'll consider making this a plugin for Final Cut Pro / davinci someday?

[@EricFilipkowski]

Thanks for making this video. I tried to upload an mp4 and it doesn't have the timecodes.

Are MacWhisper (gumroad) and Whisper Transcription (app store) the same on macos?

[@ZorbaPress]

This is super-useful -- Thank you very much! ... Does this work with OS Monterey, or do I need the latest OS, Ventura ?

[@laurap.5970]

That looks beautiful, amazing, is this available only in English? Or other languages too?

[@petruscensoria]

Yes, Whisper supports over 100 languages. However not every language transcription is as good as the english one.

@@petruscensoria thank you! In Germany we have pretty strong data privacy restrictions, which is why I am looking for a tool to use offline. Macwhisper looks perfect for that!

[@petruscensoria]

@@laurap.5970 Then it's good, german has only a 4.5% WER (Word Error Rate)

[@ozedsal5581]

can I change how many max character per line?

[@2timothy477]

I thought it was free? It's asking for card details.
