Add Speech Recognition to Your App:Whisper + React + Node (10-Minute Build)
Want to add speech recognition to your app? In this tutorial, we build a Whisper-powered transcription MVP: React 18 + TypeScript + Vite on the frontend, Node.js + Express + TypeScript on the backend. We’ll record audio in the browser with the MediaRecorder API, upload it via FormData + Multer, transcribe on the server using OpenAI Whisper, and render clean text with a copy button, word/char counts, and language metadata.
