How to transcribe owntone-server recordings

owntone-server makes the recording — Whipscribe makes it text. Three steps, and the first preview is free with no signup.

The three steps

1

Get the audio out. Save the aircheck or stream recording from owntone-server as MP3 or WAV.

2

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).

3

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.
