| # Hearlark: private audio & video transcription | |
| <!-- cm:hf-upgrade --> | |
| **Free, no sign-up.** How to use: | |
| 1. Drop an audio or video file, or record from your mic. | |
| 2. Pick a model size and language (or auto-detect). | |
| 3. Export TXT, SRT, WebVTT or JSON. The audio never leaves your device. | |
| **Need more?** [Turn the recording into captioned shorts: Clipwhit Pro, $12/month →](https://data.cybermaxtools.com/buy/st-clipwhit-pro-monthly?s=hf-space-hushscribe) | |

| <!-- /cm:hf-upgrade --> | |
| Drop an audio or video file (or record from your mic) and get a timestamped transcript, **without uploading anything**. OpenAI's Whisper runs inside your browser with [transformers.js](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers.js): WebGPU when your browser has it, otherwise CPU (WASM). | |
| - **Private by design:** the file is decoded and transcribed on your device. No server, no account, no upload. | |
| - **Exports:** TXT, **SRT subtitles**, WebVTT and JSON (segments with start/end times). | |
| - **99 languages** with auto-detect, plus **translate to English**. | |
| - **Three model sizes:** Tiny (fastest), Base (default), Small (most accurate). Downloaded once, then cached. | |
| Good for interviews, lectures, podcasts, voice memos, meeting recordings and video subtitles when the audio shouldn't leave your computer. | |
| ## FAQ | |
| **Why not Otter or TurboScribe?** They are good server-based services, but your file is uploaded and free use is capped: Otter's free Basic plan has 300 minutes a month and 3 lifetime file imports (otter.ai/pricing, Sep 2026); TurboScribe's free plan allows 3 files a day of up to 30 minutes. Hearlark never uploads the audio and has no account or quota. | |
| **How fast is it?** On a plain cloud CPU an 11-second clip took 10.8 s on Tiny and 14.9 s on Base (25 Sep 2026). WebGPU (recent Chrome or Edge) is usually much faster. Long files on CPU take a while, so keep the tab open. | |
| **Is it really free?** Yes. The page and the model files are served by Hugging Face; nothing runs on our servers, so there is nothing to meter. | |
