Transcribe incoming feeds, pressers, and live crosses fast — then search your whole archive for the grab you need.
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.
Whipscribe turns feeds, pressers, and rushes into timestamped, speaker-labelled transcripts quickly, and makes your back catalogue full-text searchable — so a producer finds the exact grab, with its timecode, in seconds.
Get a working transcript of a press conference or incoming feed while the story is still live, with timecodes for the edit.
Full-text search across past bulletins and interviews for a quote, a topic, or a person — no more 'which tape was that on?'
Speaker labels separate each voice so you can pull exactly what the minister, the witness, or the analyst said.
Export SRT/VTT for captioning, and keep a searchable as-broadcast record for compliance and complaint response.
Transcription runs many times faster than real time, so a press conference becomes a searchable transcript in minutes, not hours.

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.
