Frequently Asked Questions about openai-whisper

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I transcribe audio locally without sending files to an external service?▼

The offline transcription process downloads the Whisper model to your local cache on the first run, defaulting to the turbo model to balance speed and accuracy for on-device speech-to-text processing.

Do I need a network connection for offline speech-to-text?▼

Offline speech-to-text requires network access only for the initial model download to your cache; subsequent transcription runs process audio files locally without any network connection.

Can I use local transcription for confidential audio recordings?▼

Local transcription is ideal for confidential audio recordings because it processes media files entirely on-device, ensuring private speech-to-text without exposing sensitive data to external APIs.

What is the default model used for local audio transcription?▼

Local audio transcription defaults to the turbo model unless configured otherwise, requiring the Whisper CLI to be installed on your machine to generate text from media files.

Does offline transcription support audio translation as well as speech-to-text?▼

Offline transcription supports both translation and transcription options, allowing you to convert local audio files into text or translate spoken content directly using the Whisper CLI.
