The most requested MacWhisper feature, according to developer Jordi Bruin, has been on-device automatic speaker recognition. The app uses powerful speech-to-text transcription models that are capable of turning hours of dialogue into text, but automatically assigning who said what has been a huge problem to solve.

Enter MacWhisper 12. The new version’s headlining feature is the ability to automatically group transcribed text by speaker, making it the first Mac app to offer this feature locally on-device.

Now, when you transcribe an interview, meeting, or conversation, MacWhisper will automatically detect different speakers, group their speech, and label them—making your transcripts clearer and easier to navigate.

This is a game-changer, and we’re proud to be the first to bring local, on-device speaker recognition to the Mac, thanks to our collaboration with ArgMax and their WhisperKit Pro and SpeakerKit models. All processing happens privately on your Mac, meaning no data is sent to a server, and it works offline. Getting started is easy—just transcribe your audio, assign names to each speaker, and you’re done.

In addition to on-device automatic speaker recognition, MacWhisper 12 works with ElevenLabs and Deepgram transcription APIs for alternative speaker recognition support.

MacWhisper is available as a free download with free OpenAI Whisper transcription included.
