Upload the recording and read the interview back minutes later — each speaker named, every line timestamped, ready to quote.
A transcript is only useful if you can defend it. Speaker recognition tags each line with who said it, and you rename “Speaker 1” to the person’s actual name once. Clicking a line plays the audio at that second, so verifying a quote is a click rather than a scrub through an hour of tape.
How it works
Audio or video of any length; the free plan transcribes the first 15 minutes of each file. MP3, MP4, M4A, WAV, MOV and a dozen more.
Leave the language on automatic or set it for better accuracy. Turn on speaker recognition if you need to know who said what.
The transcript opens with clickable timestamps — read it and fix a name straight away. A free account keeps it and exports it as TXT; DOCX, PDF, SRT and VTT come with the unlimited plan.
FAQ
Normal turn-taking and short interruptions are handled well. Sustained crosstalk is where accuracy drops — for any tool, and for any person listening. The editor lets you split or relabel the lines that get merged.
In a quiet room, yes. A phone on the table between two people transcribes well; the same phone in a café competes with everything else in the room. Recording closer to the speaker helps more than any setting does.
Yes. Transcribe in the language it was spoken in, then translate the finished transcript. Speaker labels and timestamps survive the translation, so the translated version stays quotable.
