Transcribe a 2-hour panel discussion Every panellist's point, findable afterwards.

A 2-hour panel discussion is 120 minutes and is transcribed in about 4 minutes; the room's audio feed as a 128 kbps MP3 is around 115 MB, and the session video is larger. One panel takes 120 of the 300 minutes in the $4 pack, and on a first visit the preview of the opening minutes costs nothing.

Four voices, one microphone feed

A panel is a crowded recording. This is how it comes back usable.

Where panels get recorded

Most panels are captured from the venue's sound desk, filmed for the conference channel, or streamed and kept as a replay. Upload the desk recording or the video file, or paste a YouTube or Vimeo link if the session has already been published.

Several speakers, sorted

A moderator, three or four panellists and a run of audience questions all share one track. Panellists are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters, so the brief can say which speaker made which case without anyone reading two hours of text.

What the organiser gets

A brief with the panel's thesis and takeaways for the event recap, chapters that split opening statements, discussion and Q&A, and the companies, figures and dates mentioned. The chat answers questions like what the panel disagreed about, with the timestamp attached.

Counting a conference

Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire. Applause and walk-on music are skipped; the speech is transcribed. A multi-track day split into rooms simply means one file per room.

After the panel

Why the best panel exchanges disappear by Monday.

✗ A recap written from the back row

Whoever writes up the session catches the quotable lines and misses the disagreement that made it interesting.

  • Panellists' points blurred together
  • Audience questions left out entirely
  • Session video too long to rewatch
  • Upload limits below a 2-hour file
  • No captions for the published replay
  • Figures quoted on stage, written down wrong

✓ The panel as a document

Statements, debate and Q&A, in order and searchable.

  • 120 minutes in one upload
  • Text in about 4 minutes
  • Speakers named in the summary
  • Chapters for each part of the session
  • SRT and VTT for the replay
  • Figures and dates listed

transcript · whipscribe.com/view/transcribe-2-hour-panel-discussion
00:02:05 Each panellist has five minutes to open, and then we'll go straight into the discussion.
00:46:30 I'd push back on that. The cost hasn't fallen for small teams; it has moved to a different budget line.
00:47:12 That's true for this year, but the forecast for next year looks very different.
01:28:55 We'll take questions from the room now. Please wait for the microphone.
01:59:10 Thank you to our panel. The recording will go up with the rest of the programme.

FAQ

2-hour panels, answered.

How quickly does a 2-hour panel come back?

In about 4 minutes, since processing runs at roughly 2 minutes per audio hour. The public proof page shows a 9.31-hour recording finished in 1,033 seconds.

Will audience questions be in the transcript?

Yes, as long as they are audible on the recording. Questions asked into a roaming microphone come through clearly; questions shouted from the floor without one may be faint on a desk feed.

What does a whole conference programme cost?

Each 2-hour panel is 120 minutes. Six of them total 720 minutes and fit the $18 pack (3,000 minutes). Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire. Your first panel gets its opening a free preview of the opening minutes, enough to judge the quality before buying anything.

The panel was filmed in 4K. Is the file too big?

A 4K session file often passes the 5 GB ceiling. Upload the audio track, a 1080p export, or the YouTube link once the video is published. Files up to 5 GB start with a free preview, pack or not.

Can I get captions for the published video?

Yes. SRT and VTT exports carry timestamps that match the uploaded file, alongside TXT, DOCX and JSON.

Is a recording of an unreleased session safe to upload?

Session recordings are transcribed on our own servers and never used for training. Nothing is published unless you publish it, so an embargoed panel can be transcribed ahead of its release and the recap drafted before the video goes live.
