Audio to text, on your terms

Transcribe any file to text and SRT. Privately.

Drop in an mp3, m4a, wav, mp4, ogg or flac. WhisperClip sends it straight to the transcription API you configure with your own key, and writes clean text plus a timestamped SRT. There is no WhisperClip server: your files never touch us.

$ node src/transcribe.mjs interview.mp3 --srt
Saved text to interview.txt · Saved SRT to interview.srt

FAQ

Do I need a paid key?: No — Groq's free tier covers real usage, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint works.
Is my audio uploaded anywhere by this tool?: No. It goes only to the provider you point it at, with your key. There is no middleman server.
Languages?: Anything the underlying whisper model supports; pass --lang to hint.
