Local speech-to-text with the Whisper CLI (no API key).

AI rating100/ 100See how to install

Good for

  • Transcribing recorded audio into text
  • Creating translated subtitles from audio
  • Choosing a model for speed or accuracy

Overview

What it does

openai-whisper transcribes audio files locally and saves the results as text. It uses the whisper command-line tool, where you can specify the output format, destination folder, and model. The supplied examples show how to turn an MP3 into text and translate an M4A into subtitles in SRT format. Smaller models suit tasks where speed matters more, while larger models suit tasks where accuracy matters more.

When it helps

Use it when you want a written version of a recording to read back later, or when you need translated subtitles from an audio file. It also suits people who want to process audio locally without preparing an API key. You can choose the model and output format to match the task.

Example requests

  • “Transcribe this MP3 with the medium model and save it as text.”
  • “Translate this M4A and output subtitles in SRT format.”

Notes

You need to install whisper. No API key is required, but models are downloaded to ~/.cache/whisper on the first run. In the environment described in the material, the default model is turbo.
