The problem
Logger recordings — the continuous as-broadcast capture stations keep for compliance — are the single biggest pile of audio a broadcaster holds, and the least usable. It's recorded, stored, and almost never searchable, so the moment you actually need it (a complaint, an ad query, a content review) you're scrubbing hours of tape by hand.
How Whipscribe helps
Whipscribe transcribes logger recordings — however many continuous hours — into timestamped, speaker-labelled text, so the moment you need is a keyword search away. The recordings stay yours on infrastructure you control; the transcript just makes them findable.
Built for continuous capture
Files up to 10 hours each — split round-the-clock logger capture into blocks of up to 10 hours, and every block comes back timestamped throughout.
Find any moment fast
Search the transcript for the words, the presenter, or the time instead of scrubbing the tape.
Compliance, ads, and recall
One searchable archive serves complaint response, ad-as-broadcast verification, and content recall.
Private & retained on your terms
Self-hosted Whisper — logger audio never goes to a third-party AI service; keep transcripts as long as your obligations require.
Questions
What is a logger recording?
It's the continuous as-broadcast capture of everything a station airs, kept for compliance and complaint purposes. Whipscribe transcribes it so you can search it.
Can it handle round-the-clock capture?
Yes — upload it in blocks of up to 10 hours each; continuous, multi-hour recordings are the core use case, timestamped throughout.
Where is the audio processed?
On private infrastructure with open-source Whisper — 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.
