Broadcast & media monitoring

Every hour of broadcast, searchable.

Whipscribe turns radio, TV, and podcast audio into timestamped, speaker-labelled, fully searchable text — for compliance archives, newsroom speed, media monitoring, and PR measurement. Open-source Whisper on private infrastructure: your audio never goes to a third-party AI service, and retention stays under your control.

Transcribe a recording — first 60 minutes free
Private by design

Self-hosted Whisper — nothing sent to OpenAI, Google, or any external transcription service, no training on your audio.

Built for long recordings

No length cap — multi-hour as-broadcast logger recordings are exactly what it's for, timestamped throughout.

Retention you control

Keep transcripts as long as your obligations require; delete on your own schedule.
