Notes from people who run WhisperScript on real work, every day.

  • Jason A.
    Post-grad Law Student
    “I've enrolled for 4 months of night school as a post-graduate law student. Lectures will run over 4 hours every weeknight, so I intend to record all the sessions and transcribe the recordings into notes. That works out to about 350 hours of note-taking I can leave to WhisperScript.”
  • Terry S.
    “I finally got around to installing it, and wow, it's truly amazing. I absolutely love the new user interface—so much more powerful and intuitive. And the new V3-turbo? It's incredible how fast and accurate the translations are now.”
  • Emma R.
    Journalist
    “Nice app! I really like the recent addition of speaker recognition!”
  • Amanda C.
    UX Designer
    “I came to say that you did an awesome job. I don't know if it's something on the deep code or what, but WhisperScript seems faster than MacWhisper.”
  • Danh P.
    Project Pluto Studio
    “WhisperScript is a game-changer for my design research interviews. The AI-powered app quickly transcribes my audio recordings with impressive accuracy, saving me valuable time and allowing me to focus on the insights that matter.”
