The problem
News and talk stations produce a relentless stream of bulletins, interviews, and crosses — and almost none of it is searchable once it airs. Producers need a grab fast, and compliance needs to find a segment, but both mean listening back through tape.
How Whipscribe helps
Whipscribe transcribes bulletins, interviews, and as-broadcast recordings into timestamped, speaker-labelled text — so producers pull a grab in seconds and compliance answers a complaint by searching the words, all on infrastructure you control.
Grabs in seconds
Search past bulletins and interviews for a quote, a topic, or a person, with the timecode for the edit.
Fast on breaking audio
Transcribe a cross or interview while the story is still live, many times faster than real time.
Speaker labels
Speaker labels separate each voice so you pull exactly what the guest or caller said.
Searchable compliance record
Keep an as-broadcast transcript archive for complaint response and code review.
Questions
How fast is it?
Transcription runs many times faster than real time, so an interview becomes searchable in minutes.
Can it handle other languages?
Yes — 100+ languages plus English translation, useful for foreign feeds and multilingual talent.
Where is the audio processed?
On private infrastructure with open-source Whisper — never sent to a third-party transcription 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.
