Whisperr review

“I love how easy Whisperr is to use and how it accurately understands and translates text and speech across different languages. It's so effective that even in scenarios where other tools might fail, Whisperr performs perfectly. Additionally, the ability to select languages for translation directly on a phone is fantastic. This feature helps us translate church services, ensuring everyone understands without missing anything important. The initial setup was straightforward, making it smooth to start using immediately.”

Top-Notch Speech Recognition and Flashcard-Style Translations for Fast Study

“Whisperr's speech recognition and translation quality are both top-notch, and better than similar tools I've tried so far. Beyond that, as a Japanese learner, I especially like how Whisperr displays each sentence and its translation almost like flashcards, with a text-to-speech button for each one. That setup makes studying feel fast and efficient, and it's easy to review sentence by sentence.”

What you get

From a recording to text you can use

Whisperr writes down everything that was said and saves it in your account.

Faster than the recording

A 10-minute file with a translation takes about 35 seconds, and a 2-hour file about 6.5 minutes. You can leave the page while it works.

More than 60 languages

Whisperr detects the language spoken in the file automatically, the same 60+ languages as live transcription.

A translation on every line

Pick a language to translate into, and every line of the transcript comes with its translation beside it.

Your audio is not kept

The file goes to our speech recognition provider and is deleted there once the transcript is saved. You can delete the transcript at any time.

Nothing to install

It runs in your browser on any computer. Uploading a file is on the web only for now, not yet in the phone or desktop apps.

Long recordings welcome

Each file can run up to 299 minutes and 500 MB. A subscription includes 10 hours of uploads a month.

Transcribe a lecture

Record the class on your phone, then upload it afterwards and study from the text. If the lecture is in another language, add a translation and read both side by side.

Convert MP3 to text

MP3, M4A, WAV, AAC, FLAC and OGG files all work. Video files, such as MP4, work too: the uploader in your Whisperr dashboard uses only their audio.

Have more recordings to transcribe?

Your dashboard keeps every transcript in one place, and the uploader also takes video files.
