The problem
Regional stations serve local audiences with small teams while carrying local-content and recording obligations. Proving local content aired, or reviewing a complaint, means going back through logger recordings nobody has time for.
How Whipscribe helps
Whipscribe transcribes your recordings into searchable text so you can evidence local content, answer complaints quickly, and turn local coverage into web pages — without the manual review, and with the audio on infrastructure you control.

Self-hosted Whisper, pay-as-you-go, no per-seat fee — sized for a small team.
Questions
Can it help with local-content obligations?
It makes your recordings searchable so you can locate and evidence what aired; specific local-content requirements vary, so confirm your licence conditions and code. This is general information, not legal advice.
Is it affordable?
Yes — from $4 for 300 minutes down to about half a cent a minute on the largest pack, no per-seat fee, and credits don't expire.
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.
