Whisper accuracy, running on your PC
ClapClip uses Whisper-class speech recognition models that rival cloud services on accuracy — including punctuation, casing, and robustness to accents and background noise. The difference is where they run: on your own hardware, not someone else's server.
Free forever, no time limits — because it's local
Cloud transcription services charge by the minute, cap file length, and expire free trials. Local processing removes the meter entirely and permanently: transcribe a three-hour lecture, a full podcast season, or a folder of client interviews — today, next month, forever — without a usage counter, trial clock, or subscription.
Private by design
Meetings, legal interviews, medical dictation, unreleased content — much of what people transcribe is sensitive. Because ClapClip processes everything offline, your recordings are never uploaded, logged, or used to train someone else's model.
Batch transcription for real workloads
Queue an entire folder of recordings and let ClapClip work through them. Each file gets its own transcript, exported in the format you choose — plain text or subtitles — with no per-file setup.
