Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about 1Transcribe.
What is OpenAI Whisper, and how does 1Transcribe use it?
Whisper is OpenAI's state-of-the-art speech-to-text model, trained on 680,000+ hours of multilingual audio. 1Transcribe runs the latest Whisper models on our servers so you get Whisper-quality transcription in your browser or app — no API keys, no setup, no GPU required. It's the fastest way to use Whisper to transcribe audio to text.
Is 1Transcribe better than running Whisper myself?
Whisper is open-source, but running it yourself means buying a GPU, managing models, writing scripts, and waiting hours on long files. 1Transcribe gives you the same Whisper accuracy in seconds, plus speaker identification, translation in 99+ languages, AI summaries, and one-click exports to Word, PDF, SRT, and TXT — all in your browser.
