MacWhisper Free Download Latest Version for macOS. It is a full offline installer and standalone setup for macOS.
MacWhisper Overview
MacWhisper is a macOS transcription application developed by Jordi Bruin that converts audio and video recordings into text using AI-based speech-recognition models, including OpenAI Whisper and Nvidia Parakeet. It is designed for meetings, interviews, lectures, podcasts, videos, voice recordings, and other situations where users need accurate spoken content converted into editable text.
One of MacWhisper’s main advantages is local transcription. Supported Whisper models can process recordings directly on the Mac, which can be useful when working with sensitive interviews, meetings, or private recordings. The application supports more than 100 languages and can automatically detect the spoken language or allow the user to select one manually.
MacWhisper supports common audio and video formats including MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, OPUS, MOV, and MP4. It also provides transcript editing, speaker management, subtitle export, synchronized playback, translation, and multiple export formats. Pro adds advanced capabilities such as batch transcription, automatic speaker recognition, real-time captions, cloud transcription providers, integrations, and command-line support.
