Why Choose WhisperDesk for Audio Transcription?

We built this tool because uploading sensitive meeting recordings to the cloud is risky. WhisperDesk runs entirely on your hardware for complete privacy.

Your audio never leaves your device. All transcription happens locally using your CPU or GPU. Perfect for confidential meetings, interviews, and sensitive content.

GPU Accelerated Speed

Optimized for Apple Silicon (Metal) and NVIDIA (CUDA) for blazing fast transcription speeds up to 100x real-time.

Multi-Format Export

Export to SRT, VTT, JSON, or plain text. Perfect for YouTube subtitles, podcast transcripts, content creation, or documentation archives.

Open Source & Community Driven

WhisperDesk is free software licensed under MIT. Transparency is key when handling private data. Check our code, contribute features, or build your own fork. Join our growing community of developers and users.
