FAQ

Is my audio uploaded?

No. The transcription AI (transformers.js with Whisper) runs inside your browser. The only network access is the one-time download of the model and engine.

Which model should I choose?

For English, the small (tiny) model is fast and usually good enough; the larger ones are more accurate on difficult audio. For Japanese, choose Large (small).

Can it handle long recordings?

Up to 3 hours. The audio is split at pauses into parts under 30 seconds and processed in order. On a CPU it can take as long as the recording itself or longer, so keep the tab open.

Does it identify speakers?

No, speaker diarisation is not supported. Export with timestamps and add names where needed.
