Same model, yes. But you don't have to use OpenAI's paid online service. The model is available on their GitHub under an MIT License: https://github.com/openai/whisper/tree/main. I use an app called MacWhisper that gives me a GUI and helps with model management, and gives easy access to other similar open-source & local audio-to-text models as well. https://goodsnooze.gumroad.com/l/macwhisper
