MacWhisper update brings real-time meeting transcripts, improved speaker recognition, more

MacWhisper, the popular AI-powered transcription tool for Mac users, has been updated to version 15.2. This latest version brings several exciting new features, including real-time meeting transcripts, improved speaker recognition, tighter integration with Apple Intelligence, and a new transcription model.

One of the most significant additions is the real-time meeting transcription feature. This allows users to follow along with live meetings, refer back to the transcript as needed, copy it, or transfer it to other applications. The transcript remains available even after the meeting ends. Users can keep the transcript window visible alongside other apps for easy reference.

In terms of transcription models, MacWhisper 15.2 now supports Alibaba's QWEN3-ASR model, which is capable of handling 22 languages. This addition enhances MacWhisper's ability to transcribe meetings conducted in various languages.

Apple Intelligence integration has also been strengthened in this update. MacWhisper now works seamlessly with Siri, Spotlight, and Shortcuts on macOS 27. Users can search for transcripts system-wide, open them using Siri, input the text into Shortcuts, and even interact with the transcript directly through Siri or Apple Intelligence requests.

Additionally, MacWhisper 15.2 introduces organizational features for transcripts and meetings. Users can now create folders and subfolders to keep their transcript and meeting files neatly organized. Existing transcriptions can be easily dragged and dropped into these folders from the sidebar.
