Mozilla's Whisperfile is based on the whisper.cpp software used in OpenAI's transcription AI 'Whisper'. Whisperfile can run on systems such as Linux, MacOS, Windows, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD. Whisperfile also works on both x86_64 and AArch64.

When you run Whisperfile, it automatically transcribes audio files in wav, mp3, ogg, and flac formats into text. It also supports color-coding to indicate the confidence level of speech recognition.

According to Mozilla, Whisperfile can also translate non-English audio into English.

You can also use the HTTP server by executing the following command.
[code]./whisper-tiny.en.llamafile[/code]

You can view the man page with the following command:
[code]./whisper-tiny.en.llamafile --help[/code]

Mozilla has published the Whisperfile source code and installation instructions in its official GitHub repository.
