The problem
Broadcasters carry captioning and accessibility obligations, and outsourced captioning is slow and costly while manual captioning eats hours. Getting accurate, timecoded captions for everything that needs them — news, catch-up, promos — is a constant production drag.
How Whipscribe helps
Whipscribe transcribes your audio into timestamped text and exports ready-to-use SRT and VTT caption files, so you caption faster and keep an accurate, searchable record of what aired — with the audio staying on infrastructure you control.
SRT & VTT in minutes
Export standards-friendly caption files from an accurate transcript, ready for your playout or catch-up platform.
Per-word timing
Timestamps line captions up to the audio, so there's less manual re-timing.
Timed captions
SRT and VTT captions timed to the audio for interviews and panels.
Private & scalable
Transcription on our own servers, pay-as-you-go — caption as much as the schedule demands without sending audio to a third-party AI.
Questions
What caption formats do you export?
SRT and VTT — plus TXT and DOCX — which import into common captioning and playout workflows.
Does this meet our captioning obligations?
Whipscribe produces accurate transcripts and caption files to speed your captioning; specific accessibility and captioning obligations vary by market and licence, so confirm your current requirements. This is general information, not legal advice.
Where is the audio processed?
On our own servers — never sent to OpenAI, Google, or any external transcription service, and never used to train models.
Note: Whipscribe is a transcription tool that makes recordings searchable; it complements your recording and retention systems, it does not replace them, and nothing here is legal advice. Confirm your current obligations with your licence conditions and the applicable code.
