How to transcribe ffmpegfs recordings
ffmpegfs makes the recording — Whipscribe makes it text. Three steps, and the first preview is free with no signup.
The three steps
Get the audio out. Save the VOD or recording from ffmpegfs and upload it — long files are expected.
Drop it below. Upload the file right here — no signup for the instant preview. Long, multi-hour files are fine, and video uploads work too (we transcribe the audio track).
Take the text with you. Accurate, speaker-labeled text with timestamps — export TXT, SRT, VTT or DOCX, in 100+ languages, processed on Whipscribe's own private cloud.

Do I need to convert the file first?
No. Common audio and video formats upload as-is; video's audio track is transcribed automatically.
