A long audio transcription app that opens in the browser you already have.
WhipScribe is a long audio transcription app that runs in your browser on a phone or a computer, taking one file up to 10 hours or 5 GB and transcribing it at about 2 minutes per hour of audio. The first 20 minutes are free on your first recording, and packs start at $6 for 500 minutes, a little over 8 hours, with no subscription.
What to look for in an app
The things that decide whether a long file works.
No install, no storage worries
Phone apps that transcribe on the device can stall on a long file or fill the phone's storage. Here the processing happens on our servers, so a 5-hour file does not drain your battery while it runs. Your phone only has to send the file, or the link.
Ceilings that suit long audio
Check the per-file limit before you choose an app. This one takes 10 hours or 5 GB in one file, and before the first pack uploads go up to 2 GB.
Bring the file from where it is
Upload from the phone's files or your computer, record with the microphone, or paste a YouTube, Twitch, Kick, Vimeo, podcast or Google Drive link. Large uploads go through the upload page.
Close the tab if you like
Processing runs at about 2 minutes per hour, and the result waits in your account. Come back on another device and the transcript, brief and chapters are there. A long upload from a phone is best started on Wi-Fi.
App versus app
A recorder app's add-on, or a tool built for length.
✗ Transcription bolted onto a recorder
Built-in transcription in recorder and notes apps is often aimed at short memos. That works for a reminder to yourself, less well for a three-hour seminar.

FAQ
Questions about long audio apps.
Is there an app for transcribing long audio?
WhipScribe runs in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, so there is nothing to install. It takes files up to 10 hours or 5 GB and transcribes them at about 2 minutes per audio hour.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Open the site, pick the recording from your files or record with the microphone, and the processing runs on our servers rather than on the phone.
What does it cost?
Your first recording costs nothing for its opening 20 minutes. After that, $6 buys 500 minutes, $12 buys 2,000 and $24 buys 5,000 with API access. Credits never expire.
What if my file is over 2 GB?
Files from 2 GB up to 5 GB start once a pack is on your account. Longer than 10 hours, the recording goes in as two files. Audio-only files are far smaller than video of the same length, so a long voice recording seldom comes near either line.
Which languages does the app handle?
99 languages, detected automatically, among them Tagalog, Korean, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Hebrew, Afrikaans and Zulu.
Can I get the text out, and is it private?
Download TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON, or copy the text. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, whichever device you uploaded from.
