Just disappointing

I find that the main feature, transcribing YouTube videos works seldomly… I can’t find help. Disappointing.

バランスが取れたモデルも欲しい

OpenAI Whisper Smallだと話者認識こそできるが制度がイマイチ

中間のモデルが欲しい

総じて及第点にとどまる

Great Tool if You Pay the Full Price

The tool is good if you pay for the PRO version; otherwise, there is no way to save the transcripts. It offers various formats for saving the transcripts you create, yet you cannot use even the most basic one without paying for the PRO version. It makes little sense to use it to transcribe a video only to find you can't do anything with the result. While it does let you copy and paste the text into another program, a tool that offers a PRO option should still provide some fully functional basic features. Otherwise, it’s useless.

It isn’t “free”

You can download the app, but as soon as you try to transcribe a video you’re hit with a paywall. 1 star for the bait-and-switch. If you had put this up as an $89 app, I probably would have been happy to pay that. However hiding it until after I’ve downloaded and installed the app and started a project… Well, I’d give you zero stars if I could.

性能としては、充分だが

文字起こしの性能としては、十分なものを持っているし、Mac版では話者ごとにまとめてくれる
ただ、ローカライズされていないことと、リアルタイム文字起こしの時もしゃべり終わった後で停止した状態で、ようやく文字起こしにするが、リアルタイムでどんどんテスト化するような機能が欲しい

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.

Unusable beyond 20 seconds cant transcript m4a

Needs way more improvements.

Keeps deleting long meeting transcripts.

Weak app. It used to work much better

At some point the developers got carried away adding AI transcription engines, but in the end the only one that works somewhat reliably is Parakeet v3.

I used to transcribe 90-minute presentation recordings through this app without any issues. Now even a 30–40 second video clip can take so long to process that it’s easier to walk away and do something else.

Very disappointing experience. The app has become slower, less reliable, and far less useful than it used to be.

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.

Multifunktional, Präzise, Korrekt, Werthaltig

Ich bin begeistert von der Funktionsvielfalt, dem Leistungsspektrum, der klaren Nutzerführung und hohen Nutzerfreundlichkeit. Whisper Transkription vervielfacht meine Produktivität und schafft echten Mehrwert. Vielen Dank für diese wertvolle Assistenz.

On device transcription model not working

We haven’t been able to get the on device local transcription model to work on iOS or iPadOS. It attempts to transcribe, but doesn’t generate anything.

Pessimo

Eu comprei a versão completa no meu macOS, sendo o mesmo aplicativo da mesma empresa não me dá acesso a versão do iOS. Se eu soubesse não teria comprado no Mac. PESSIMO!

Excellent, well-designed app

This app gets a lot of things right and has a very nice native macOS design. Even perusing the settings is a joy compared to some other apps!

Gratuité

Ne pas dire que l’Apps est gratuite, seul 3 jours sont gratuits. Une fois inscrit , que faire pour se désinscrire ?

Broken on Sonoma

App is completely broken on Sonoma, and there's no way to roll back. Transcription hangs at 99%. GPU is no longer used regardless of how settings are set. What a joke.
