Time is the most valuable asset for creators. Transcribing interviews or video footage manually is a bottleneck that modern AI tools can eliminate entirely.
From Hours to Minutes
For a typical 1-hour interview, manual transcription can take up to 4 hours. With Whisper Web's client-side acceleration, that same hour can be processed in minutes depending on your GPU.
Best Practices
- Clean Audio Input: The better the source, the faster and more accurate the output. Avoid noisy environments.
- Speaker Separation: While Whisper is great, recording multiple tracks for different speakers (if possible) yields perfect results.
- Export Formats: Use SRT for video editing (Premiere/Final Cut) and VTT for web publishing.
