Questions, answered.
The essentials before you start.
Is this the official Whisper website?
No. 1Transcribe is an independent transcription app, not affiliated with OpenAI. Whisper is OpenAI's speech recognition model; this page offers 1Transcribe as a ready-to-use transcription alternative.
Do I need to install Whisper or bring an API key?
No. Upload your recording in the browser. You do not need to download a model, use a command line, or supply an API key.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. The first five minutes of each file are free, so you can review a sample of your transcript before deciding whether to upgrade.
Can I export text and subtitles?
Yes. Review your transcript and export it as text or an SRT subtitle file. Check names, technical terms, and subtitle timing before publishing.
