If you are on a Mac Intel the and the tool is incredibly slow give it a try with Firefox. Its should be way faster!
Alessandro Calzavara
Awesome guys! Well done! 💪
Emanuele Rampichini
@dral3x Thanks mate! :)

Elegant implementation of Whisper in WebAssembly
Mutlu Sakar
Cool, congrats!. How it is working in languages other than English?
Emanuele Rampichini
@mutlusakar We tested it with Italian and Spanish and it works pretty well. Wanna give it a try with other languages and let me know?
Mutlu Sakar
@emanuele_r Turkish? :)
Emanuele Rampichini
@mutlusakar Turkish is supported, but i cannot vouch for the quality of the transcription (since i don't speak Turkish). Why don't you give it a try with a Turkish episode and let me know?
Emanuele Rampichini
@mutlusakar If you are on a Mac Intel there's a chance that it may be very slow. Before trashing it give it a try with Firefox. Looks like performances there are way more stable!

💡 Bright idea
Great tool! Is it possible to download the transcription without publishing it first?
Emanuele Rampichini
@phadventure Did't think about but it, but is something i will implement! :) This is the kind of feedback i want :)
Phil Co
Wow this is great! Should be #1 for today in my opinion 🤩
Emanuele Rampichini
@phil_co Thanks! Let's make it happen. Share it around! :)
Phil Co
By the way: How can you afford it to keep it free? I see that it is sponsored by iHeart, but still, it's impressive. What is the maximum length of a podcast to transcribe?
Emanuele Rampichini
@phil_co The magic is happening directly on your device, using whisper model directly running on your browser in WebAssembly so that: - You don't have to upload your media to any server - We don't have to run expensive inference on the cloud Most of the modern machines are good enough to do it. As for the length of the podcast we did several test with episodes 2h long, there's no hard limit, so if you find it let us know! :)
Jim Engine
Love it! Privacy kept in mind and also security. AND it is Free. There is probably nothing better for transcribing podcasts 👌
Emanuele Rampichini
@officialexaking Spread the word! :)
Felix Oropo
I tried it and I'm very impressed. Kudos!
Emanuele Rampichini
@felix_oropo Thanks for the feedback! Share it around :)
George Novik
This sounds great, but how accurate is the transcription? And what file formats does it support?
Emanuele Rampichini
@jorexnovik It uses the whisper model so it's pretty accurate. You always have an inline editor to fix little mistakes. Regarding the formats basically everything you can throw at a modern web browser (Firefox suggested for speed reasons). Give it a try and let me know!
Yuliia Oliinyk
Wow! Cool!
Francesco Corsi
Awesome product, the transcription needs some manual edit but in general it works quite ok and it's FREE
Emanuele Rampichini
@francesco_corsi Thanks! Yep we added a editor just for that reason. Let us know how we can improve it!
Žarko Iličić
Great product guys! Works like a charm🤘
Richard Gao
Nice! Is this using Whisper?
Emanuele Rampichini
@richard_gao2 Yep, it's using whisper.cpp complied in WASM via emscripten :)
Frida
Thank you for making this! I'm rooting for you :)
Nicholas Alexander
I really commend your efforts and abilities in making a free transcription product. I'm curious about the security and privacy measures that are being taken, especially as users are uploading their own data. Thanks again. :)
Emanuele Rampichini
@nalex2025 It's a free tool, provided by Spreaker Anybody can use it, you don't need to be a Spreaker customer It's built to be bulletproof from the privacy standpoint: - No cookies - No trackers (eg: Google Analytics) of any sort - No user account registration - No payments - No personal information being stored anywhere (we don't even have server logs) The only thing that we do to make it useful is uploading and hosting the transcription (if you decide to do so) so that you can add it to your RSS feed following the podcasting 2.0 standard. https://podcastindex.org/namespa...
Emanuele Rampichini
@nalex2025 If you have suggestions on how we can make the flow more explicit for the upload part let me know :)
Nicholas Alexander
