Whisper Snapper

Whisper Snapper is a native Mac application designed for AI-powered transcription of audio and video files. It offers both local and cloud-based processing options, allowing users to choose between privacy-focused offline transcription using downloaded models (like Parakeet and WhisperKit) or faster cloud-based transcription via APIs (like OpenAI Whisper, GPT-4o, and Deepgram). Key features include speaker identification (diarization), support for various file formats (MP4, MOV, M4A, MP3, WAV), a built-in voice recorder, and multiple export formats (TXT, SRT, VTT, Markdown, CSV, PDF). The app targets professionals such as journalists, podcast editors, legal consultants, and content creators who need accurate, efficient transcription with control over data privacy. Its unique selling points are the one-time Pro upgrade fee ($9.99 for life), offline capability, and integration of industry-leading AI engines.
