Whishper is a self-hosted, 100% local audio transcription and subtitling suite with a web UI, powered by FasterWhisper. It transcribes audio/video (including from URLs via yt-dlp), translates transcriptions via LibreTranslate, and includes a subtitle editor with export to TXT, JSON, VTT, and SRT.

Use cases

  • transcribe audio files to text locally
  • generate subtitles for videos
  • translate transcriptions to another language
  • edit srt subtitle files in a web ui
  • transcribe youtube videos with whisper
  • run speech-to-text offline without cloud services

When to choose

  • you need privacy-first, fully offline transcription
  • you want an integrated subtitle editor and translation
  • you want to transcribe media from URLs via yt-dlp
  • you have an NVIDIA GPU or want fast CPU transcription

When to avoid

  • you need multi-user authentication (not yet supported)
  • you want a maintained project - the main branch is frozen pending a v4 rewrite
  • you need non-NVIDIA GPU acceleration
  • you need a hosted or managed solution
