Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the transcription?

Whisper is one of the most accurate speech-to-text models available. It handles accents and background noise well. Clear recordings produce the best results.

How long does transcription take?

A 5-minute recording typically takes 1–3 minutes on a modern laptop. Longer files take proportionally longer.

Can it transcribe videos?

Yes. Upload MP4 or WebM video files and the audio track will be extracted and transcribed automatically.

Does it support multiple speakers?

Whisper transcribes all speech accurately but does not currently label individual speakers. You'll need to manually identify who said what.

What file formats are supported?

MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, MP4, WebM, and most common audio/video formats.
