The problem
In a newsroom, speed is everything and the archive is a black box. Producers wait on manual transcription of press conferences and feeds, and finding an old grab or a politician's exact words means someone remembering which tape it was on.
How Whipscribe helps
Whipscribe turns feeds, pressers, and rushes into timestamped transcripts quickly, and makes your back catalogue full-text searchable — so a producer finds the exact grab, with its timecode, in seconds.
Fast turnaround on feeds & pressers
Get a working transcript of a press conference or incoming feed while the story is still live, with timecodes for the edit.
Search the whole archive
Full-text search across past bulletins and interviews for a quote, a topic, or a person — no more 'which tape was that on?'
Timecodes for grabs
Every line carries its timecode, so you can pull exactly what the minister, the witness, or the analyst said.
Captions & compliance
Export SRT/VTT for captioning, and keep a searchable as-broadcast record for compliance and complaint response.
Questions
How fast is it?
Transcription runs many times faster than real time, so a press conference becomes a searchable transcript in minutes, not hours.
Can we transcribe in other languages?
Yes — 99+ languages, plus English translation, which helps with foreign feeds and multilingual talent.
Is our material kept private?
Yes. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training. Retention stays under your control.
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.
