# MacWhisper

> Use this tool when you need to transcribe audio files securely and privately, without relying on cloud services or internet connectivity. MacWhisper solves the problem of sensitive audio data exposure by keeping all processing local, using the MacWhisper CLI to deliver accurate and fast transcription results. It takes in audio files as input and outputs transcribed text, ideal for use cases requiring on-device data processing and maximum data protection.
