How to transcribe inputstream.ffmpegdirect recordings
inputstream.ffmpegdirect 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. Pick the file from your inputstream.ffmpegdirect library and upload it — video or audio, either works.
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.
About inputstream.ffmpegdirect
“Supports streams opened by FFmpeg's libavformat or Kodi's cURL such as plain TS, HLS and DASH (non-DRM) as well as many others. There is support for Archive/Catchup services where there is a replay window and can timeshift across that span. Also provides timeshift for live streams where rewind/pause.”

Frequently asked
Can Whipscribe transcribe media stored in inputstream.ffmpegdirect?
Yes — any audio or video file inputstream.ffmpegdirect produces can be uploaded directly. Pick the file from your inputstream.ffmpegdirect library and upload it — video or audio, either works.
Do I need to convert the file first?
No. Common audio and video formats upload as-is; video's audio track is transcribed automatically.
How accurate is it?
Clear speech in major languages comes back near-publishable; noisy or heavily accented audio deserves a review pass. The instant preview shows real output before you commit.
What does it cost?
About $2 per audio hour as pay-as-you-go credits that never expire — the first preview is free with no signup.
