## What is Whisperkit?

Whisper turns speech into accurate text — entirely on your device.

Powered by Apple's Neural Engine and an open-source multilingual speech recognition model, Whisper transcribes audio recordings, voice memos, lectures, meetings, podcasts and videos directly on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded. Nothing is tracked. No accounts.

KEY FEATURES

• On-device transcription — your audio never leaves your iPhone
• Record audio directly in the app, or import files from Files, iCloud, or Photos
• Supports many languages including English, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Portuguese, and Italian — plus auto-detection
• Real-time progress with live segment-by-segment streaming
• Multiple model sizes — pick speed or accuracy to match your needs
• Performance monitor shows CPU, memory and Neural Engine usage in real time
• Works offline once a model is downloaded
• Copy or share transcripts with one tap
• Beautiful, modern interface designed for iOS and iPadOS

WHY ON-DEVICE MATTERS

Most transcription apps send your audio to a server. Whisper does not. Your meetings, voice notes, interviews and personal recordings stay private because everything runs locally on your iPhone's Neural Engine.

• No accounts to create
• No subscriptions, no ads
• No analytics or tracking SDKs
• Works in airplane mode after the first model download
• Safe to use with confidential and sensitive recordings

PERFECT FOR

• Journalists transcribing interviews
• Students capturing lectures
• Professionals transcribing meetings
• Podcasters generating show notes
• Writers dictating drafts
• Anyone who values privacy

Whisper is open speech recognition done right — fast, accurate, and yours alone.
