How it works
Whipscribe works from the recording after the call, so nothing joins your meeting.
Turn on recording in your conferencing or dial-in service, or record on the host's own device. When the call ends, download the recording as an audio or video file.
Drop it on this page. Files up to 500 MB go straight in; larger ones, up to 5 GB, continue on the upload page. A three-hour quarterly call is still one file.
Skim the labelled speakers, search for a topic or a name, and export DOCX for minutes, TXT for email, SRT or VTT for a recorded video, or JSON.
Honest limits
Calls with many people are harder to transcribe than a one-to-one interview. Knowing why saves surprises.
When two or three people talk over each other, the overlapping words are the ones most likely to be missed or given to the wrong speaker. Check those stretches against the audio.
Speakers are labelled by voice, not by who dialled in. Several people on one speakerphone in a meeting room can sound alike and may be grouped together.
Dial-in phone audio is thinner than a headset on a computer. It still transcribes, but a recording made on the host's side is worth asking for.
Ask people to mute when they are not speaking, say their name before they speak on a big call, and record from the host's side rather than a phone held near a laptop.
After the call
The transcript is the source. Decisions, owners and deadlines are yours to pick out, and the text makes that a read instead of a replay.
Search for phrases like “I will”, “by Friday” or a teammate's name to find commitments, then write the action list you circulate.
Share a DOCX or TXT instead of a two-hour recording. Readers skim to the part that concerns them.
Quote exactly what was said on a recorded call, with a timestamp so anyone can check the line against the audio.
Once you sign in, each transcript page shows an AI summary, key quotes and topics, plus an Ask AI panel for questions about the call. Treat them as a starting point and confirm against the transcript.
