Whisper · 100% in-browser

Free Whisper transcription — your audio stays on your device

Cloud transcription bills by the minute and uploads your recordings. WKO AI transcribes entirely in your browser — English runs on Moonshine Tiny and Base via WebGPU/WASM, other languages on Whisper — unlimited, no sign-up, and your audio never leaves your device.
