Whisper tiny model
Transcriptions in seconds, not minutes
We run OpenAI's Whisper tiny model on dedicated GPU servers for maximum speed. A typical 2-minute video is transcribed in about 15 seconds. Longer videos up to 10 minutes are done in under a minute. Your video never leaves our servers and temp files are deleted immediately after processing.
The audio is automatically extracted from your video using FFmpeg, converted to an optimal 16kHz mono WAV format, then processed by Whisper for fast and accurate speech-to-text.
