Both products are listed under Productivity & Workflow. Everything below is what the makers told us when they submitted. IndieList has not tested either product, so read this as a fact sheet, not a verdict.
Free audio and video transcription that never uploads your file
Turn an MP3, M4A, WAV or video file into editable text and SRT or VTT subtitles. OpenAI Whisper runs in your browser, so the file is never uploaded. Free, no sign-up, no minute limits. Files up to 60 minutes and 300 MB; English or 99 languages with automatic detection (never translated). Subtitles are cut at natural pauses with real start and end times. Edit, copy or save as .txt. Made by the team behind Yap.
Free online dictation that stays on your device.
Speak and get text you can edit, copy or download as .txt. Speech is recognized in your browser with OpenAI's Whisper model, so your voice is never uploaded. Free, no sign-up, no limit on recordings. Choose English only, or any of 99 languages with automatic detection. Each recording runs up to two minutes. The first use downloads a model of about 80 MB that the browser keeps, so recognition then works offline. Works best in current desktop Chrome or Edge. Nothing is stored on a server and there is no account. Made by the team behind Yap, the dictation app for Mac and Windows.
