What's New in Whisperkit
1.2
October 1, 2026
Version 1.2 adds music, new ways to bring in audio, and work that keeps going when you leave the app. MAKE MUSIC (BETA) A new Music tab turns a description into a song, made entirely on your device. Describe the style, mood and instruments, add lyrics if you want it sung (in the lyrics box or right in the description), and say how long it should be. Fuller arrangement fills out a short idea with bass, drums and a build. Every song is kept with its prompt and lyrics, ready to play, share or make again. Music is in beta: results vary from take to take, and the first song downloads the music model (about 9 GB). MORE WAYS TO TRANSCRIBE • Share to Whisper: share an audio or video file from Voice Memos, Files or Mail, and it opens here ready to transcribe. • Transcribe a link: paste a link to an audio or video file, and Whisper downloads and transcribes it. • Traditional Chinese output for Chinese transcripts. KEEPS GOING IN THE BACKGROUND On iOS 26 and later, transcriptions, downloads and music keep running when you switch apps, with their progress shown by iOS. ALSO • A "?" on each tab explains how everything works. • The GPU is available for every model, with a note on the trade-off where it matters. • Many fixes and refinements. Everything still runs on your device. No account, no analytics, and nothing you record, type or create leaves your iPhone or iPad.
