What is Whisper Web and how does it work?

Whisper Web is a browser-based transcription service at whisperweb.dev powered by OpenAI's Whisper model. Free mode processes audio locally in your browser using WebGPU and WebAssembly; Unlimited mode uploads selected files for cloud transcription. Neither requires installing an app or supplying an API key.
