A browser-based tool that turns audio and video into editable text, timestamps, or subtitles without uploading the media.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

Field notes

The tool accepts a local file, a browser-accessible direct URL, or microphone input, then runs one of three Whisper model sizes on the device. The homepage sets a 300 MB and 20-minute limit for the standard workflow, while a separate large-file path is described as handling up to 1 GB and one hour. Results can remain in IndexedDB and be exported in subtitle, structured-data, or plain-text formats.
