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.

Accuracy depends on the spoken language, selected model and recording quality. Noise, overlapping speech and specialist terms can cause errors. Review important names, numbers and quotes against the original audio.

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.

Processing time depends on recording length, the selected model, your device and browser support. WebGPU may speed up local transcription; Pro processes recordings in the cloud.

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.
