Drop an interview, meeting or lecture recording and read the transcript in your browser. Download it as a DOCX, with or without timestamps, that opens in Word, Google Docs or Pages. Files over 500 MB continue on the upload page. Your first transcript is free, at any length · packs from $8 for 1,000 minutes, credits never expire.
How it works
Everything happens in the browser. Nothing to install.
MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, OGG, WebM, MP4 or MOV, up to 10 hours or 5 GB. The box on this page takes files up to 500 MB; bigger files continue on the upload page. You can preview the transcript straight away, without an account.
On the transcript page, each line shows when it was said. Click a timestamp to hear that moment. Signed in, you can correct a misheard line or delete one and save the change before you export.
Open the export menu and pick .docx, with or without timestamps. The same transcript also exports as TXT, SRT, VTT, JSON and MD.
The Word file
A normal document, not a caption file with the formatting locked in.
The transcript arrives as passages in the order they were spoken, so it reads like a document from top to bottom. There are no tables to untangle and nothing is locked, so you can restyle it however you like.
DOCX opens in Word, Google Docs, Apple Pages and LibreOffice, so colleagues can read and edit it without installing anything new.
Include timestamps and each passage starts with its time, which helps when you need to check a quote against the audio. Leave them out for a clean reading copy.
Add headings, highlight quotes, track changes, leave comments or put it on a shared drive. The original transcript stays in your WhipScribe library, where you can search it later.
Who uses it
Anywhere the next step happens in a document rather than a media player.
Researchers and journalists code, quote and annotate interviews in Word. A timestamped DOCX keeps every quote traceable to the recording.
Turn a recorded meeting into minutes: keep the decisions, cut the small talk, and send the file to people who missed the call.
Students and speakers get a written version of a lecture to revise from, turn into notes or rework into an article.
Draft show notes, blog posts or a book chapter from something you said out loud, starting from an editable document instead of a blank page.
Pricing
After that, $8 buys 1,000 minutes, $12 buys 2,000 minutes and $24 buys 5,000 minutes. Credits never expire and there is no subscription. DOCX and every other export use the same minutes.
Cost example: a 45-minute interview uses 45 minutes, which is $0.36 on the $8 pack. A 2-hour focus group is 120 minutes: $0.96 on the $8 pack, or $0.72 on the $12 pack. See pricing for details.
