The problem
In a crisis, the broadcast narrative moves faster than anyone can listen. Comms teams need to know what's being said across radio and TV in near real time, but monitoring by ear can't keep up and misses the exact wording that matters.
How Whipscribe helps
Whipscribe transcribes incoming broadcast and podcast audio quickly into timestamped, speaker-labelled text, so you track the narrative, catch the exact claims, and brief leadership from the words — many times faster than real time.
Faster than real time
Turn incoming segments into searchable text quickly, so monitoring keeps pace with the story.
Catch the exact claims
Search for the words that matter across every outlet, not a paraphrase.
Brief from the record
Give leadership the verbatim quotes and where they aired.
Private & scalable
Self-hosted Whisper, pay-as-you-go — spin up as much as the crisis demands.
Questions
How fast is it?
Transcription runs many times faster than real time, so a segment becomes searchable in minutes.
Can we scale up in a crisis?
Yes — pay-as-you-go with no per-seat fee, so you scale transcription with the volume of coverage.
Where is the audio processed?
On private infrastructure with open-source Whisper — never sent to a third-party AI service, 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.
