Whisper-based awesomeness!
It works great and is free without ads or any premium model.
Great solution
Absolutely a great solution to get a local model running on your phone so you can have better text to speech. Early phases, but this is very promising
Please, add SRT file export option…
Hello!
Thank you for the excellent WhisperBoard app — it works perfectly offline on my iPad, the transcription is very accurate, and the interface is clean and simple. I especially love that everything runs on-device, no ads, no subscriptions.
I often use it to record thoughts/interviews and I see segments with timestamps right in the app (e.g. [00:00:00.00 - 00:00:02.00]). This is already almost ready for subtitles!
Are you planning to add export to .srt (or .vtt) with these timestamps? It would be a huge help for creating subtitles for videos/audio. Many users have requested this in reviews, and it would make the app even more versatile.
Thank you for your great work! Looking forward to updates 😊
Best regards

Amazing !
Minor suggestions: Would be nice to have ‘quantized’ explained more clearly. Also to have examples of differences between each model transcribing the same clip.
Great App but SRT output Please
Great App but SRT output Please
One Caveat
An app called CoolKeyboard form the same Dev popped up on my device after downloading this.
Actually a good app
No need for a long review, all you need to know is this. If you need an audio transcriber, then get this app. No ads, no frills and just does what it is supposed to do very well. Keep it up fellas!
The best app I could find
Free and ability to select models to run locally, only wish I could copy the timestamps with the transcript but that’d be a cherry on top
First time user
There’s only one name comes to mind “Brilliant”
Best Transcription app, hands down
Completely free. No ads, no subscription, no licensing. Absolutely free. Peak app honestly. Absolutely amazing, 10 out of 10. Almost every other app on here has some sort of monetization, and most if not all use the same exact Whisper tech used in this app. This one downloads the model directly from OpenAI and lets you run them locally on your device. This bears no hosting cost on the dev of this app, thus making it possible to offer for free!
The Whisper models are free and open source, and you have access to 21 different Whisper models, all tuned for varying degrees of quality and performance. Even the smallest model works great. The bigger models run fine on my iPhone 14 but I’m limited by RAM. The biggest model should run perfectly on my M2 iPad Air.
Genuinely amazing work, thank you so much.

the best !
keep up the best work 🙏
非常好用
支持普通话转文本，不过是繁体
Perfect app for private VoT
This is perfect app for on device transcription. Perfect for tasks requiring privacy. iPhone has the capacity run whisper model well for multilanguages.
Exactly what I was looking for
Slick app that does exactly what you need. Uses OpenAI’s Whisper models and is fast and to the point. Thank you!!
Ничесебе!
Спасибо, приложение отличное. Очень удивлен, развивайте приложение 💪
Não é bom para outras línguas
Em português (BR) escreve tudo errado.
I look forward for whisper ios keyboard!
This is a great Dictation app. Very accurate. I love that you can control the model. And it’s also great that it supports many languages. For me most of the dictation happens in the context of the iOS keyboard. If you can bring this as a keyboard it will be one of the top ones in my view And I’m more than happy to pay for it!

Genial, Genau und dabei lokal ausgeführt!
Prima Transcription - vielen Dank für diese FREIE App. Sie zeigt, was die Sprachmodelle auch lokal ausgeführt leisten können. Die Fortschrittsanzeige bei dem großen Modell funktionierte bei mir nicht - sie sprang von 0% auf fertig. Vielleicht war der Text zu kurz? Und dann ist ja für den Laien nicht erkennbar, was ein „Quantized“ Model ist. Es belegt ein Drittel des Speichers, wird aber als ebenso leistungsfähig beschrieben. Aber hat es auch Nachteile?
Auf jeden Fall nochmals Danke!!!! Toll!!!

It’s the best and it’s free. It doesn’t get much better than that.
Quite simply put, this is the app you want if you need speech-to-text on your iPad. It's simple, it's free, no ads, no obtrusive elements at all, and it uses the open source Whisper framework, which is very well established and produces excellent text from human speech.
You can load audio files to transcribe or you can recordings directly in the app. I really couldn't ask for much more here.
A note for users who aren't familiar with the Whisper framework: you have to download models for the app. If you go into settings, you can select the model you want to use and thr app will download it. It comes with the ‘tiny’ model, which is fast but not as accurate as the larger models. If you want very high accuracy and are willing to have a slow transcribe rate, then I would recommend downloading a larger model though the settings.
I’m really thankful to the dev for making this. Absolutely fantastic.
