MacWhisper is described as 'Quickly and easily transcribe audio files into text with OpenAI's state-of-the-art transcription technology Whisper. Whether you're recording a meeting, lecture, or other important audio, MacWhisper quickly and accurately transcribes your audio files into text' and is a audio transcription tool in the video & movies category. There are more than 100 alternatives to MacWhisper for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Web-based, Windows, iPhone and iPad apps. The best MacWhisper alternative is Handy STT, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like MacWhisper are Vibe Transcribe, Voxtral, Whisper and OpenWispr.
The speech recognition engine is not anywhere near the quality of Whisper, nor does it support transcription of pre-recorded audio files.
