Real-Time Whisper WebGPU: The Future of Browser-Based Transcription

The traditional barriers to high-quality speech recognition—server costs and privacy risks—are disappearing. By leveraging Whisper WebGPU and Transformers.js v3, developers can now deliver professional-grade transcription that runs entirely within the user's browser. This on-device approach ensures data security while maintaining lightning-fast performance.

Versatile Transcription Features

Modern browser-based AI allows for multiple input methods to suit any workflow. At Staksoft, our PDFaiGen Speech-to-Text tool implements these core features using local processing:

Upload File
Support for common audio formats for batch processing.

From URL
Directly transcribe audio hosted on the web.

Live Record
Capture and transcribe voice notes instantly.

How It Works:

Simple, Fast, and Secure

Get your audio processed locally in three easy steps without your files ever leaving your device:

1 .Upload Audio: Select a file from your device, provide a URL, or record a live voice note.

2. AI Processing: Our advanced Whisper-based model analyzes the audio locally in your browser using WebGPU acceleration.

3. Download Text: Instantly copy the transcript or export it as a TXT or JSON file with accurate timestamps.

Implementation: Real-Time Whisper Pipeline

Using @xenova/transformers, you can enable WebGPU acceleration to handle these heavy tasks with ease.

import { pipeline } from '@xenova/transformers';

/**
 * Initialize Whisper Speech-to-Text with WebGPU
 * Enables local processing for files, recordings, and URLs
 */
async function startTranscription(audioSource) {
    const transcriber = await pipeline('automatic-speech-recognition', 'Xenova/whisper-tiny.en', {
        device: 'webgpu', 
    });

    const output = await transcriber(audioSource, {
        chunk_length_s: 30,
        stride_length_s: 5,
        return_timestamps: true,
    });

    return output;
}
