As per developer Jordi Bruin, the most sought-after feature for MacWhisper has been on-device automatic speaker recognition. The app employs advanced speech-to-text transcription models that can convert lengthy dialogues into text, yet the challenge of automatically attributing quotes to the correct speaker has been significant.
Enter MacWhisper 12. The standout feature of this new version is its ability to automatically categorize transcribed text by speaker, making it the first app on Mac to provide this feature locally on the device.
Now, when transcribing interviews, meetings, or conversations, MacWhisper will automatically identify different speakers, organize their speeches, and label them—enhancing the clarity and navigability of your transcripts.
This innovation is revolutionary, and we take pride in being the first to introduce local, on-device speaker recognition for Mac, achieved through our partnership with ArgMax and their WhisperKit Pro and SpeakerKit models. All processing occurs privately on your Mac, ensuring no data is sent to external servers, and it operates offline. It’s simple to get started—just transcribe your audio, assign names to each speaker, and you’re all set.
Beyond on-device automatic speaker recognition, MacWhisper 12 is also compatible with ElevenLabs and Deepgram transcription APIs for additional speaker recognition support.
You can download MacWhisper for free, which includes OpenAI Whisper transcription at no charge. Upgrade to MacWhisper Pro to fully unlock the app’s features, including on-device automatic speaker recognition. For a limited time, save 15% at checkout with the promo code FINALLY to celebrate the introduction of this long-anticipated feature.
