Transcribe research interviews, focus groups, and field recordings with AI accuracy. IRB-friendly offline processing.
Everything you need for accurate voice-to-text transcription
All processing stays on your device. No participant data transmitted to cloud servers, simplifying IRB approval for research involving human subjects.
Batch-process multiple research interviews. GPU acceleration handles large qualitative datasets efficiently.
Transcribe focus group recordings to identify themes and patterns in participant responses.
Conduct research across language barriers. Transcribe interviews in 29+ languages with automatic detection.
Export plain text transcripts for import into NVivo, Atlas.ti, MAXQDA, or other qualitative analysis software.
Process large datasets without accumulating transcription costs. Ideal for dissertation research on a budget.
Professional transcription services charge $1-$3 per audio minute, making a qualitative study with 30 one-hour interviews cost $1,800-$5,400. StarWhisper eliminates this cost barrier with free local transcription powered by OpenAI Whisper AI.
Because all processing happens on your Windows PC, StarWhisper simplifies IRB data management plans. There is no third-party data processor to account for, no BAA required, and no risk of participant data being stored on external servers.
