Transcription for interpreters your practice sessions and event recordings, as text.
An interpreter's long recordings, from an hour of booth practice to a full conference day on the floor channel, come back as text at about 2 minutes per audio hour, so a 6-hour event day is ready in roughly 12 minutes. Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire.
What interpreters record
Hours of practice are only useful if you can read them back.
Drills you can mark up
Record yourself interpreting a speech, then send both the source and your rendition as two files. Two texts side by side show where a figure went missing, where a name came out wrong and where you compressed a long sentence, and the timestamps take you straight back to that moment in the audio.
Terminology from last year's edition
A recurring conference sounds much like last year's. Transcribe the earlier floor recordings and the brief lists the names, numbers, dates and organisations that were said, which turns into a prep list before you sit in the booth again. Chapters mark each session so you read only the panels in your language pair.
One language per file
This is the caution that matters for interpreters. A recording that switches language is detected on its main language, so a track where the floor and the interpretation are mixed together tends to favour whichever language dominates, and the other comes back weaker. Ask the AV desk for each channel as its own file, or record your booth output on a separate device, and upload them separately.
Big floor files
A full-day video of the plenary can run to several gigabytes. The box on this page takes files up to 500 MB; anything larger continues on the main upload page, where one file can run to 10 hours or 5 GB. Uploads go up to 5 GB per file, so convert a very large video to audio if you only need the words.
Where review stalls
Listening back to your own booth output is slow. Reading it is not.
✗ Reviewing by ear
Most interpreters replay a drill once, wince at the same spot, and move on without notes.

FAQ
Interpreters' questions, answered.
How fast does a practice session come back?
About 2 minutes per hour of audio. A 45-minute drill is ready in under 2 minutes, and a 6-hour conference day in about 12. Public proof: 9.31 hours of audio were transcribed in 1,033 seconds, shown at /proof/long-files.
What does a month of practice cost?
Twenty drills of 45 minutes come to 900 minutes. Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes. Credits never expire, so a quiet month simply carries the balance forward. The opening minutes are a free preview.
Can I transcribe the floor and the interpretation channel?
Yes, as two files. Each is detected on its own language and comes back with its own brief and chapters. A single track carrying both languages at once is detected on its main language, so separate channels give a much cleaner result.
Which languages work?
99 languages are detected automatically, with no setting to choose. English terms inside other-language speech are handled, which helps with the acronyms and programme names that conference speech is full of.
Are speakers identified?
Speakers are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters when the recording introduces them, for example when the chair gives the floor to a delegate. No bot joins a live call; this works on the recording afterwards.
Event material is often confidential. Is it safe to upload?
Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, and a file can be deleted whenever you choose. Your contract with the client still decides whether a recording may leave your hands, so check it first, and recording anyone needs the consent the law where you are requires.
