Free Medical Transcription — 100% Private, Browser-Based

Whisper Web processes all audio locally in your browser — zero audio is transmitted, stored, or accessible by any third party. This eliminates the primary risk vector of cloud-based transcription services (data in transit and at rest). HIPAA compliance depends on your overall workflow and organizational policies; consult your compliance officer for your specific use case.

OpenAI Whisper achieves 95%+ accuracy on clear audio and recognizes common medical terms, drug names (especially top-200 prescribed medications), anatomical terminology, and procedural language. Less common terms, brand-name medications, and highly specialized subspecialty language should be verified during clinical review.

Yes. Click the microphone button to record directly in your browser — ideal for dictating SOAP notes between patients. Recording supports up to 60 seconds per clip. You can also upload pre-recorded audio from a digital voice recorder or phone app.

With WebGPU enabled: a 5-minute clinical dictation transcribes in under 60 seconds, and a 15-minute therapy session note takes 2–3 minutes. This 5:1 speed ratio fits comfortably between patient appointments without disrupting your clinical workflow.

Whisper transcribes speech as spoken — if you say 'BID' or 'PRN,' it appears as spoken text. It does not auto-expand abbreviations. Most clinicians dictate naturally and expand abbreviations during the quick review pass before pasting into their EHR system.

No. Zero data is stored, uploaded, or transmitted. The AI model runs entirely in your browser's memory. When you close the tab, the audio and transcript are permanently deleted unless you explicitly save or export them. There is no server, no cloud, and no data collection.
