MacWhisper adds a CLI so agents can batch-transcribe audio and video
JeremyNguyenPhD · x · 2026-07-22
MacWhisper now ships with an optional CLI, mw, in version 13.20.
- It lets you drive the app from Terminal: list/switch models, transcribe files, pipe outputs into other programs, and automate transcription from scripts.
- The CLI talks to the running MacWhisper app over a local socket, so it uses the same engines, models, and settings you already configured in the UI.
- If MacWhisper is not running, invoking mw will launch it automatically, making it easier for agents like Codex and Claude Code to batch-transcribe audio and video.
