Our verdict

WebML runs speech recognition locally in the browser, pulling audio from files, a browser tab, or the microphone without sending anything to a cloud service, and it lets you export the results. Privacy-conscious users who'd rather keep audio processing on their own device are the target here. Language support stops at English and French, its only public rating so far is a low 1 out of 5, and local processing likely trades off some accuracy against a heavier server-side model.
