Professional Transcription for Every Industry

StarWhisper delivers enterprise-grade transcription powered by OpenAI's Whisper technology. Unlike cloud services that charge per minute, StarWhisper offers flat-rate pricing with complete data privacy.

  • Medical transcription: Document patient notes with HIPAA-friendly local processing. Audio never leaves your device.
  • Legal transcription: Transcribe depositions, client meetings, and case notes. Maintain attorney-client privilege.
  • Business transcription: Meeting minutes, interviews, conference calls. Predictable monthly costs.
  • Academic research: Transcribe interviews, lectures, and field recordings. Support for 99+ languages.

Why Choose Local Transcription?

Data Security

Cloud transcription services upload your audio to remote servers. This creates privacy and compliance risks for sensitive content. StarWhisper processes everything locally - your audio never leaves your computer.

Predictable Costs

Per-minute pricing makes budgeting difficult. Transcribing 10 hours at $0.25/minute costs $150. StarWhisper Pro is $10/month for unlimited transcription - same price whether you transcribe 1 hour or 100 hours.

Works Anywhere

No internet required. Transcribe on planes, in secure facilities, or areas with poor connectivity. The Whisper models run entirely on your local hardware.

GPU Acceleration

NVIDIA CUDA support enables real-time transcription and fast batch processing. An RTX 3060 can transcribe audio faster than real-time with the large model.

How StarWhisper Works

StarWhisper uses OpenAI's Whisper speech recognition model, trained on 680,000 hours of multilingual audio. The model runs locally using whisper.cpp, an optimized implementation for desktop use.

Choose from multiple model sizes based on your accuracy needs and hardware:

  • Tiny/Base: Fast transcription for general use. Works on any modern PC.
  • Small/Medium: Better accuracy for professional content. Recommended for most users.
  • Large-v3: Highest accuracy for medical, legal, and technical content. Benefits from GPU acceleration.

Getting Started

Download StarWhisper free and start transcribing immediately. The free plan includes 500 words per day - enough for many users. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited transcription.

System requirements: Windows 10/11, 8GB RAM minimum. GPU acceleration requires NVIDIA graphics card with CUDA support.
