About:
WhisperKit provides a Swift-native framework for running OpenAI's Whisper models directly on Apple Silicon devices. It leverages CoreML and ANE for optimal performance, enabling fast, private, offline speech-to-text transcription without external dependencies.
Key Features:
  • Native Swift implementation
  • On-device processing for privacy
  • Hardware acceleration via CoreML/ANE
  • Supports multiple Whisper model sizes
Use Cases:
  • Offline voice note transcription
  • Privacy-sensitive audio processing
  • Real-time speech recognition in macOS/iOS apps
Alternatives:
  • whisper.cpp – C++ implementation requiring manual model conversion, less native to Swift
  • openai-whisper – Python-based, requires GPU and internet connectivity for full functionality
