Frequently Asked Questions

What video formats are supported?
Whisper Web supports any video format your browser can decode — MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, MKV, and more. The audio track is automatically extracted for transcription.
Do I need to extract the audio first?
No. Whisper Web handles audio extraction automatically. Just upload your video file and the tool extracts and processes the audio track.
Can I transcribe a YouTube video?
You can paste a direct video/audio URL into the URL input field. For YouTube specifically, you would need to download the video first, then upload it to Whisper Web.
How long does it take to transcribe a video?
Speed depends on video length and your device. With WebGPU acceleration, a 10-minute video typically takes 1–3 minutes. Without WebGPU, expect roughly real-time processing speed.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. Your video is processed entirely in your browser. The file never leaves your device. This makes Whisper Web safe for confidential, proprietary, or pre-release content.
Can I get subtitles from my video?
Yes. The transcript includes timestamps for each segment. For dedicated subtitle files (SRT/VTT), check out the Subtitle Generator tool on Whisper Web.
