MacWhisper is a transcription app for Mac from Good Snooze that turns audio and video into text on your own machine. It uses speech models such as Whisper and Parakeet that run on the device, so recordings do not need to be uploaded anywhere. You can drop in an interview or a lecture, edit the transcript in the app, and export it as text or subtitles. Newer Pro features add batch work, automatic speaker recognition, translation, live meeting transcription and dictation. A free version covers basic transcription, and Pro is a one time purchase.

FAQs

Does MacWhisper send my recordings to the cloud?

Core transcription runs on your Mac, so files stay on your device. Optional features that use outside AI services only run when you choose them.

Is MacWhisper a subscription?

The direct version has a free tier and a one time Pro licence with lifetime updates. A separate App Store edition offers other pricing.
