New month brings you another feature-packed QuickWhisper release! Let’s have a look what we have for you today.

New Features

Fresh Look and Feel

QuickWhisper's start screen just got a stunning makeover! We've redesigned the interface with enhanced contrast and add distinctive personality, making it not just more visually appealing but also more functional.

Batch Transcription

Do you need to transcribe multiple files at once? Drag-n-drop files to QuickWhisper, select export format, and hit "Batch Transcribe." Files will be processed one by one. Each transcription remains individually accessible, allowing you to edit and manage them separately afterwards.

Speaker Diarization: 50% More Accurate!

We've made a breakthrough in our speaker diarization engine! This release delivers a remarkable 50% improvement in accuracy, placing QuickWhisper among the industry leaders in speaker diarization. It particularly shines in interview and podcast recording where speakers maintain clear time separation. The system now excels at:

• More precise speaker change detection

• Better handling of quick speaker transitions

• Enhanced speaker consistency throughout long recordings

We'd love to hear about your experience with the improved diarization feature – share your feedback with us!

Ignore List

More control over transcription quality with our new Ignore List feature. This feature automatically filters non-verbal segments (like: [SILENCE], [MUSIC]), but also allows you to filter any undesired segments. You can access the feature in Settings → Ignore List or simply open context menu of a segments and click on "Delete and ignore in the future" to add it to the Ignore List.

Find & Replace

Tired of repeatedly correcting the same transcription errors? Our new Find & Replace feature is here to help! Create custom replacement rules to automatically correct repeating mistakes. Whether it's proper names, technical terms, or recurring phrases, set up your rules once and let QuickWhisper handle the rest. Perfect for maintaining consistency across all your transcriptions.

Note: This feature is currently in beta, and while powerful, results may occasionally vary from expected outcomes. We're actively collecting user feedback to improve its accuracy.

Audio Export

Take control of your audio recordings with our versatile new audio export options! Whether you need to export specific channel (microphone or system audio), or export the recording as a whole, we've got you covered. Perfect for anyone who needs more granular control over their meeting recordings.

History Search

Finding past transcripts has never been easier! Our new History Search feature lets you quickly locate specific transcripts by filename, date, or content. The smart search functionality supports both recent and archived transcriptions, making project organization effortless.

We're excited to introduce QuickWhisper 1.7, bringing powerful project navigation, multi-track transcription mode, and huge performance optimisation!

New features

Transcription projects

Access your transcription projects with our revamped project structure. Your transcripts are now organised in an easy-to-navigate chronological list in the sidebar, making it simple to find and revisit transcription projects. You can also easily rename and delete projects via context menu.

Multi-track Mode (Podcast Mode)

Perfect for podcasts, interviews, and remote meetings where each speaker is recorded on a separate track! Simply import individual audio files from each participant, and QuickWhisper will combine them into a single, perfectly synchronized transcript.

For example, if you have separate recordings of the host and guest from your podcast, or individual tracks from each participant in your remote meeting, QuickWhisper will merge them while maintaining precise speaker attribution and timing.

Btw: When using Multi-track mode you can choose to align tracks by their end times instead of start times.

Removing Duplicated Segments

Say goodbye to duplicated segments! Our new filtering system automatically detects and removes repeated text segments in your transcripts. This is especially useful when transcribing lower-quality audio, where Whisper might produce duplicate segments like "Let's begin Let's begin Let's begin".

Note: While this feature works well for cleaning up transcription artifacts, use it carefully with content that intentionally contains repetition (like song lyrics, educational materials, or speeches with deliberate repetition for emphasis).

Paragraph Mode (BETA)

Get more natural, readable transcripts with the new Paragraph mode. Instead of breaking text into short segments, QuickWhisper will intelligently merge adjacent segments to form complete sentences or paragraphs. For example, rather than having three separate segments like "I wanted to", "tell you that", "the meeting is tomorrow", you'll get one natural segment: "I wanted to tell you that the meeting is tomorrow." This makes transcripts much easier to read and work with, especially when you don't need subtitle-style segmentation.

Note: Since this feature relies on Whisper's punctuation detection, it works best with clear audio.

System Audio Monitor

Recording system audio? Keep an eye on both audio sources with our new split volume meter. Now you can monitor Microphone and System audio levels separately in real-time, helping you catch and fix recording issues before they ruin your session. No more unpleasant surprises of discovering that your interview recording has only audio of your voice.

Transcription Progress Estimation

Know exactly when your transcription will be ready with our new time estimation feature. No more guessing, how much time to wait by looking at the progress circle. Especially comforting when working with longer transcriptions.

Quick Model and Language Selection

Model and language controls are now available from the main window. No need to go to the setting if you need to change these essential controls.

Performance

We've supercharged our transcription engine! Enjoy up to 20% faster processing times thanks to extensive low-level optimisations.

🎄 As we wrap up 2024, we're excited to deliver one more release of QuickWhisper to make your transcription tasks in the new year smoother.

New features

You can also use common keyboard shortcuts to start search (Ctrl+F), and go to the next match (Cmd+G) or go back the the previous one (Cmd+Shift+G).

Filtering

You can now filter segments by Speaker or Labels, making it incredibly easy to navigate especially in long transcript. What's even better - when you use the Copy button with a filtered view, QuickWhisper only copies the visible segments.
