Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built Whisper Snapper because I wanted a transcription app that actually gave me control. Most tools force you into one camp: either fully cloud-based (privacy concerns, subscriptions) or fully local (slower, limited models). I wanted both.
With Whisper Snapper, you choose:
Go local with Parakeet or WhisperKit models—100% offline, your audio never leaves your Mac
Go cloud with your own OpenAI or Deepgram API keys for speed and the latest models like GPT-4o
It handles speaker diarization, exports to SRT/VTT for video editors, and works with any audio or video file you throw at it.
The free tier is generous and permanent. Pro is a one-time $9.99—no subscriptions, ever.
I'd love your feedback. What formats do you export to most? Any AI models you'd like to see added?
Thanks for checking it out! 🎙️
This looks awesome! 🎉 Love the flexibility of choosing between local and cloud models—privacy and speed is a killer combo. Quick Q for the maker: How does Whisper Snapper handle background noise or low-quality audio? Does the local model (Parakeet/WhisperKit) perform well in those scenarios, or is cloud the better bet for messy recordings?
Also, any plans to add support for mobile (iOS/Android) in the future? Would love to transcribe on the go! 🚀
Congrats on the launch! Love the flexibility of choosing between fully local and cloud transcription, that balance between privacy and speed feels very well thought out.
Congrats on the launch of Whisper Snapper! It seems like a great tool for transcribing with lots of flexibility in how it runs.
I’m curious, how’s the response been so far? What kind of marketing goals or strategies are you focusing on to get the word out? Would love to hear more about your plans!
Mostly export SRT + Markdown here. Love the pick local/cloud thing. Curious how fast Parakeet runs on an M1 Pro and if the fans stay chill. I’ll toss a 60‑min pod at it later. One‑time $9.99 feels right.
Nice and simple! Something that everyone needs! Congrats on your launch! 🚀
