Everything OpenWhispr transcribes is saved as a note: dictations, meeting recordings, uploaded audio, and anything you type yourself. Notes live on your own machine first — syncing, sharing and exporting are all things you turn on.

Where notes come from

​
Importing audio

The Upload view turns existing recordings into notes. Drag in files (MP3, WAV, M4A, WebM, OGG, FLAC, AAC), or paste a YouTube or direct media URL to fetch and transcribe it. You can queue several at once and keep working while they process. File size limits depend on how the audio is processed — no limit with local models, 25 MB on the Free plan or with your own API key, and 500 MB on a paid plan using OpenWhispr Cloud. Plans and limits has the detail. Uploads can be transcribed with speaker detection too, using the same on-device models the meeting recorder uses — see speaker labels.

​
Working with a note

Each note has an editor, AI actions that clean up or summarise what’s there, and its own chat panel for asking questions about that note’s content. The chat agent searches across all of them at once.
