MacWhisper 14 brings a fresh text editor and major speed boosts

The popular AI transcription app for Apple computers just got a big update. MacWhisper 14 is now available, bringing a fresh design and noticeable speed boosts to the tool. Independent developer Jordi Bruin rolled out this major release to help users turn audio into text faster. It still uses local artificial intelligence models to keep your data private, but now it handles daily tasks much better than before.

The new update revamps the main text editing screen

Version 14 introduces a brand new Editor View that lets you edit text directly on the main screen. You can add paragraphs, assign different speakers, and mark your favorite parts of a transcript without jumping through menus.

The developer also released version 14.1 shortly after to fix early bugs. This minor update added Gladia as a cloud provider, letting people use their own API keys for transcription. The app continues to support popular models like OpenAI Whisper and Nvidia Parakeet right on your Mac.

Performance improvements make the application run faster and smoother

This release brings major speed improvements across the entire application. Whether you are working on an old MacBook or a newer machine, the app feels lighter and more responsive.

MacWhisper 14 also includes:

• A redesigned AI services screen that is clearer and easier to read
• Updated AI models for popular transcription providers
• Better playback when working with multiple open transcripts
• Improved transcript windows with better keyboard shortcut behavior
• Deepgram updates including region selection and filler word controls
• Cloud transcription uploads that no longer load entire files into memory
• Fixes for menu bar position, CPU usage, and audio syncing issues

MacWhisper Pro users get this update at no extra cost, and the developer is currently offering a 14 percent discount for new buyers looking to upgrade.
