What offline means here
Your first visit needs an internet connection so the page can load and save what it needs. Come back later and it reuses that download, so it starts faster.
This is still a browser tab, not an app you install. Once the page is ready, your recordings go nowhere.

Keeping things ready
Leave this site’s stored data alone if you want fast return visits. Private browsing windows forget the download once you close them.
FAQ
Will it work on a plane?
If the page is already open and set up, transcription keeps working with the wifi off. Clear your browser data and you need a connection again.
Do I need an account for offline use?
No. The core tool has no signup.
Is usage unlimited?
Yes. Transcribe as many files as you want.
Is this faster than OpenAI Whisper?
Yes. On typical files it finishes about 10 times faster, because recognition runs on your device instead of waiting on an upload to Whisper.
Do you use cookies?
No. FreeAudioTranscription does not set cookies. Theme, crash recovery, and a short timing hint stay in local storage on your device.
