Key Features

Everything you need for accurate voice-to-text transcription

No Zoom Premium Needed

Zoom's built-in transcription requires paid plans. StarWhisper transcribes any Zoom meeting for free.

Real-Time Captions

See meeting text appear in real-time as participants speak. Never miss an important point.

Recording Transcription

Process Zoom cloud or local recordings after the meeting for a complete, accurate transcript.

Offline Privacy

Audio processed locally. Meeting content stays on your device — not uploaded to additional cloud services.

Multi-Language

Transcribe multilingual Zoom calls. Supports 29+ languages with auto-detection.

Copy to Anywhere

Paste transcripts into Google Docs, Notion, Slack, or any tool. Universal text output.

Free Zoom Meeting Transcription

Zoom offers AI transcription in its paid plans, but free and basic Zoom users don't have access. StarWhisper bridges this gap by providing AI-powered transcription that works with any Zoom plan.

Two Ways to Transcribe Zoom Meetings

Live transcription: Run StarWhisper alongside Zoom. It captures meeting audio through your computer and transcribes in real-time.

Post-meeting: Save Zoom recordings locally, then process them through StarWhisper's file transcription for a complete transcript.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work with free Zoom?
Yes. StarWhisper works independently of Zoom's plan. It captures audio from your computer, so it works with any Zoom version including the free tier.
Can I transcribe Zoom recordings?
Yes. Save Zoom recordings as MP4 or M4A files, then use StarWhisper's file transcription feature to process them.
Do other participants know I'm transcribing?
StarWhisper runs locally on your computer. Other participants won't see any indicator. Always follow your organization's recording and transcription policies.
How accurate is it compared to Zoom's transcription?
StarWhisper uses OpenAI Whisper, which is comparable to or better than Zoom's built-in AI transcription in most conditions.
