Whisper as a Service (WAAS) is a self-hosted GUI and API wrapper around OpenAI's Whisper speech-to-text model, with asynchronous job queuing and email/webhook callbacks. It includes a browser-based transcription editor for correcting segments and exporting SRT, text, or Jojo files.

Use cases

  • transcribe audio files to text with whisper
  • generate srt subtitles from video or audio
  • self-host a whisper transcription api with a queue
  • translate audio to english text via whisper
  • fix transcription errors in a browser editor
  • batch transcribe files and get results by email

When to choose

  • you want a self-hosted whisper service with a web UI and async job queue
  • you need subtitle (SRT) generation with human review/editing
  • you want API access to transcription with webhook or email callbacks

When to avoid

  • you need real-time streaming transcription
  • you prefer a managed cloud speech-to-text API without hosting
  • you need speaker diarization or advanced audio analysis
