Frequently asked questions
Can LocalWhisper identify speakers?
It supports speaker identification with editable labels, making it easier to keep track of who said what in a conversation.
Can I export my transcript?
Yes. LocalWhisper is designed to move useful output into the next step of your work, including exports such as DOCX and Notion-compatible workflows.
Is every feature entirely offline?
Transcription runs locally. If you choose to connect an external provider for a feature such as summarisation, that provider’s data handling applies to that specific action.
