HushBook on a laptop: the home screen with a Continue listening shelf of three audiobooks and the player bar

Your PC does the transcribing.

HushBook runs whisper.cpp on your graphics card, with the Turbo model and word-level timing. On a PC without a capable card, it uses the processor.

  • Free and unlimited. No cap on books or hours.
  • Nothing is uploaded. There is no server and no account.
  • Keeps going with the window closed. HushBook works from the tray.
  • Stays awake. Windows won't sleep while a book transcribes.
