Transcribe GoPro HERO13 tours and field talks the whole route, stop by stop.
A 2.5-hour guided walk filmed on a GoPro HERO13 comes back as text in about 5 minutes when you upload its audio, which at MP3 quality is around 150 to 220 MB. The opening minutes are a free preview; a season of twelve such tours is 1,800 minutes, which fits the $18 pack of 3,000.
Wearable camera, written route
Guides, instructors and field researchers wear a HERO13 for hours. What they say on the way is worth more than most of the picture.
From card to computer
Pull the microSD card into a reader, or move the footage with GoPro's Quik app, and you will find the long take as a series of MP4 chapter files. The exact folder name depends on the camera's firmware; sorting by time taken is the easy way to keep the chapters in order.
Send the voice, not the picture
A chapter of a few gigabytes is mostly picture. Export the sound as MP3 and a 2.5-hour walk is small enough for this page's box. If you would rather upload chapters as video, one up to 5 GB is accepted with or without a pack.
A season of tours, priced
Twelve 2.5-hour tours are 1,800 minutes, inside the $18 pack of 3,000. Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire.
What a tour becomes
Each recording returns with a brief, chapters with timestamps for each stop, and the dates, names and numbers you said along the way. Turn it into a written route guide, a script for the next new guide, or field notes you can search by keyword.
Talking while walking
The best version of the tour happened once, on a Tuesday, and nobody wrote it down.

FAQ
GoPro HERO13 recordings: questions people ask.
How long does a 2.5-hour HERO13 tour take?
About 5 minutes; the work runs at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. A one-hour field lesson is back in about 2.
Does the HERO13 record usable audio for a long talk?
Usually, when you are the one wearing it and talking. Wind and traffic are not transcribed, only speech, but heavy wind can cover words. A windscreen or a wireless mic helps; the HERO13 can take some Bluetooth mics, so check GoPro's support pages for yours.
What does a season cost?
Twelve 2.5-hour tours, 1,800 minutes, fit the $18 pack of 3,000. Thirty tours, 4,500 minutes, fit the $32 pack of 6,000. Packs are one-time, and the credits never expire.
My walk lasted longer than 10 hours. What now?
Split it into two files; each one can run up to 10 hours or 5 GB. Most editors can cut the audio at a natural break such as lunch.
Can I use a link instead of uploading?
Yes, if the recording sits on YouTube, Vimeo or Google Drive with sharing on. Paste the link and the audio is fetched from there.
Which exports come back, and who sees the footage?
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training. WhipScribe has no app or plugin inside GoPro's tools; you send the file yourself.
