User reviews

Terrible sorting options

We need the ability to sort imported files by their file creation time, or by their titles using natural sort. When I batch import 10 files, they come in all jumbled. A calendar or day through stepper would be nice too.

Terrible app

Sometimes it doesn’t record. I don’t like the fact that it doesn’t continue to record if I go to another app. I have missed a lot of information with this app.

Poor App, lots of inaccuracies

The Mac app performs reasonably well, but the iPhone app falls short. Translation accuracy is often poor, and the summaries generated are frequently inaccurate. Overall, the experience did not meet my expectations, and I wish a refund were available. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this app.

Leider Crash-Anfällig

Ich nutze Whisper seit einem Jahr hauptsächlich zur Erstellung von Transcripten. Anfangs dachte ich: Wenn die Sprecher-Erkennung besser wird, dann ist die App absolut topp. Die Sprechererkennung ist mittlerweile recht gut, nicht perfekt. Ein Problem ist jedoch, dass die App seit eineigen Monaten immer wieder Fehler ausspuckt, dass das Modell corrupt sei (egal welches Modell man auswählt). Mal wird es durch Updates besser, mal hat man den Eindruck es wird noch übler. Es ist absolut nicht nachvollziehbar warum die App beim Transcribieren aussteigt. Es handelt sich immer um den gleichen Dateityp (Video).
Manchmal hilft es das Modell zu wechseln, dafür stürzt diese Modell dann bei einer anderen Datei ab. Wenn das nicht aufhört, nützen mir auch neue Features nichts und ich muss mir etwas anderes suchen… Das wäre sehr schade, denn gerade der Einmalkauf ist schon ein echtes Argument für Whisper.

Watch out Mac users

All features, including the one I really needed, are not available on Intel-based Macs. Speaker detection was critical, and of course this didn’t work.
