    Mac Whisper is a powerful, free tool for transcribing video and audio content with high accuracy. It provides a solution for creating subtitles, which are essential for engaging viewers who watch without sound.

  • 00:00:00
    so here is a free tool that lets you
  • 00:00:01
    transcribe your videos and audio
  • 00:00:03
    effortlessly and it's pretty accurate I
  • 00:00:05
    have been using it from last few days
  • 00:00:07
    and here I am telling you about this
  • 00:00:09
    free tool called Mac whisper transcribe
  • 00:00:12
    is actually converting the audio into
  • 00:00:15
    text so you may have watched a lot of
  • 00:00:16
    videos on YouTube and other social media
  • 00:00:19
    where there are subtitles captions that
  • 00:00:21
    is a transcription of the audio in that
  • 00:00:23
    video because surprisingly a lot of
  • 00:00:25
    people watch videos without audio so
  • 00:00:27
    when they have subtitles they watch it
  • 00:00:30
    for a few seconds and then they decide
  • 00:00:32
    whether to tap on the video or not to
  • 00:00:33
    continue watching that video so captions
  • 00:00:35
    or subtitles are quite important and
  • 00:00:37
    that is why YouTube has a feature of
  • 00:00:39
    autogenerating subtitles closed captions
  • 00:00:41
    for all the videos because it helps
  • 00:00:44
    users get context about that video even
  • 00:00:46
    Instagram offers this feature of
  • 00:00:48
    creating captions from the videos and
  • 00:00:50
    these autogenerating features of social
  • 00:00:52
    media apps are good but they give you
  • 00:00:54
    little to no control over how the
  • 00:00:56
    transcription is done sometimes it is
  • 00:00:58
    pure garbage so this is why I recommend
  • 00:01:00
    everyone to use a standalone application
  • 00:01:03
    to transcribe their videos to create
  • 00:01:05
    subtitles doing it manually takes a lot
  • 00:01:07
    of time and you have to create videos
  • 00:01:09
    faster and faster I am always talking
  • 00:01:11
    about creating a faster workflow and
  • 00:01:14
    that is why I recommend everyone to use
  • 00:01:16
    these tools these AI tools that can
  • 00:01:18
    speed up your workflow like 5x even 10x
  • 00:01:21
    so there are already a lot of
  • 00:01:22
    applications available we will be
  • 00:01:24
    talking about that in a separate video
  • 00:01:26
    be sure to check that out on the channel
  • 00:01:28
    but in this video I'm going to talk
  • 00:01:29
    about about a free application for Mac
  • 00:01:32
    that I came across but before that let
  • 00:01:33
    me tell you how I came across it so I
  • 00:01:35
    was browsing the openi website which is
  • 00:01:38
    the parent company of chat GPT which has
  • 00:01:40
    taken the World by strong it's been only
  • 00:01:42
    6 months chat GPT is available for
  • 00:01:44
    everyone and it is crazy and I was
  • 00:01:46
    browsing their website and turns out
  • 00:01:48
    they have got a lot of other AI products
  • 00:01:50
    so whisper is a transcribing tool that
  • 00:01:52
    converts speech into text and does a
  • 00:01:54
    fairly well job so this is a pure AI
  • 00:01:56
    product from open AI other companies and
  • 00:01:59
    other start s can create products around
  • 00:02:01
    it using their API and there is a lot of
  • 00:02:03
    documentation and you can also use it
  • 00:02:05
    for your purpose also by creating a
  • 00:02:06
    small web app I was actually going
  • 00:02:08
    through the documentation to create a
  • 00:02:10
    web app for myself because this is
  • 00:02:12
    absolutely free and there are services
  • 00:02:14
    that charge you $9 $10 per transcription
  • 00:02:17
    of a video so this one is really good
  • 00:02:19
    and really promising but then I came
  • 00:02:21
    across this app called Mac whisper which
  • 00:02:24
    is available on gumroad it is created by
  • 00:02:27
    someone called Jordi Bruin so this
  • 00:02:29
    application has got a free version as
  • 00:02:31
    well as pro version so the difference
  • 00:02:32
    between the pro and the free version is
  • 00:02:34
    so the free version lets you use a
  • 00:02:36
    slightly downgraded version of the
  • 00:02:37
    transcription pro version lets you use
  • 00:02:39
    the higher end the pro version is a
  • 00:02:42
    one-time payment option and it only
  • 00:02:44
    costs € 18 gives you more features like
  • 00:02:47
    batch transcriptions manually add
  • 00:02:49
    speaker to your transcript so there are
  • 00:02:51
    a lot of features but if you just want
  • 00:02:53
    to transcribe a video of audio file the
  • 00:02:56
    free version works really well I'm going
  • 00:02:57
    to do a demo as I have already
  • 00:03:00
    downloaded and installed the Mac whisper
  • 00:03:03
    the free version so this is how it is it
  • 00:03:05
    is saying to upgrade I won't be
  • 00:03:07
    upgrading and let me show you the free
  • 00:03:08
    version how well it works so I have just
  • 00:03:11
    created an Instagram reel uh let me grab
  • 00:03:13
    that reel super fast so this is the
  • 00:03:16
    Instagram re that I created so chpd for
  • 00:03:19
    iOS is finally available in more than 20
  • 00:03:21
    countries it's free to use so the
  • 00:03:22
    interface is pretty much like and now I
  • 00:03:24
    would want to get the transcription of
  • 00:03:27
    that video so that I can add captions to
  • 00:03:29
    to this one you can see how amazing it
  • 00:03:32
    is I'm just going to drag and drop it
  • 00:03:36
    here and it starts transcribing 47%
  • 00:03:41
    done 97 98 it's finished so it just took
  • 00:03:46
    under 10 second to transcribe a 1 minute
  • 00:03:50
    video and let's see how well the
  • 00:03:53
    transcription is so charity for iOS is
  • 00:03:56
    finally available in more than 20
  • 00:03:57
    countries it's free to use so the
  • 00:03:58
    interface is pretty much like the web
  • 00:04:00
    version but you can also input The
  • 00:04:01
    Prompt using your voice so you can
  • 00:04:03
    record your voice and give it a prompt
  • 00:04:05
    okay write a poetry of six lines about
  • 00:04:07
    global
  • 00:04:09
    warming so you can see that it is
  • 00:04:11
    responding pretty fast there are more
  • 00:04:14
    than a so you get the idea how fast it
  • 00:04:16
    is and it is free to use it is free to
  • 00:04:18
    use forever there is no limitation like
  • 00:04:21
    after five videos you will have to pay
  • 00:04:23
    nothing like so like if you have
  • 00:04:24
    converted an audio F and you don't want
  • 00:04:27
    to put in a video you just want the
  • 00:04:28
    transcribed ver is you can click here
  • 00:04:31
    this will give you the text file you can
  • 00:04:32
    copy and then you can paste it anywhere
  • 00:04:35
    but if you want to export an SRT file
  • 00:04:38
    subtitle F you can do that SRT file vtt
  • 00:04:41
    text format and there are other formats
  • 00:04:43
    as well so SRT will give you times so if
  • 00:04:46
    you export the SRT file let me export
  • 00:04:49
    the SRT
  • 00:04:50
    file it is saved now if I open the final
  • 00:04:56
    cut by the way if you want to do it in
  • 00:04:58
    any other video editing application the
  • 00:04:59
    process would be similar like how you
  • 00:05:02
    import the SRT file add the captions
  • 00:05:05
    into your program in Final Cut Pro I use
  • 00:05:07
    a plugin caption but drag my video put
  • 00:05:12
    it in my timeline and now I will find
  • 00:05:16
    caption
  • 00:05:18
    burner this is the plug-in that I use I
  • 00:05:21
    will drag it till the end now I will
  • 00:05:24
    highlight it and import edit caption and
  • 00:05:27
    now I can click on
  • 00:05:30
    import this is the SRD file that we
  • 00:05:33
    downloaded and I will open I will click
  • 00:05:36
    on import and I will replace the
  • 00:05:38
    existing sample or demo of the caption
  • 00:05:42
    burner it will replace I will save it so
  • 00:05:46
    chat GPD for iOS is finally available in
  • 00:05:48
    more than 20 countries it's free to use
  • 00:05:50
    so the interface is pretty much like the

    web version but you can also input The
  • 00:05:53
    Prompt using your voice so you can
  • 00:05:54

  • 00:05:56
    how you add captions to your video by
  • 00:05:59
    transcribing the video or the audio file
  • 00:06:01
