Transcribe long recordings from Kakao TV live shows, after the broadcast.
A long Kakao TV show becomes text by uploading the saved recording: a 3-hour Korean live broadcast returns in about 6 minutes. You get the first 20 minutes free, then the $6 pack of 500 minutes covers the rest of that 180-minute show and leaves 320 minutes.
After the live show ends
Keep the recording, send the file, read the whole broadcast.
Finding the saved broadcast
If you ran the channel, start with the copy your streaming software saved on your own computer, since it is the full-quality original. WhipScribe has no Kakao link, plugin or bot, so a show that only exists on the platform needs a download the owner allows. Check the export settings for the format; a saved broadcast is usually an MP4.
Rights come first
Upload only shows you produced, shows you have permission to transcribe, or material you are licensed to work from. A fan recording of somebody else's live show is not yours to republish, and the same goes for its transcript.
A live show is mostly talk
Live broadcasts carry chat replies, call-ins and long unscripted stretches, and all of that speech is transcribed in Korean without a language setting. Background music, sound effects and crowd noise are left out. Hosts and guests are named in the summary, the quotes and the chapters, never as a label on every line.
Arithmetic for a 3-hour broadcast
At about 2 minutes per audio hour, 3 hours takes around 6 minutes. Three such shows add up to 540 minutes, just over the $6 pack, so a month of weekly 3-hour broadcasts (720 minutes) belongs on the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes, leaving 1,280.
Live recordings elsewhere
Three hours of live talk is where short-file tools give up.

FAQ
Kakao TV broadcasts, the common questions.
How long does a 3-hour Kakao TV show take to transcribe?
A 3-hour Kakao TV show needs around 6 minutes. Processing runs at about 2 minutes per audio hour, and the proof page records a 4.94-hour file finished in 372 seconds.
What do a single show and a month of shows cost?
Someone new to WhipScribe gets the first 20 minutes of a show free. One 3-hour show is 180 minutes on the $6 pack of 500 minutes. Four weekly 3-hour shows are 720 minutes, which needs the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes, at $0.36 an audio hour.
Is there a Kakao TV link option?
No. Paste links only for YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, Kick, Google Drive or a podcast feed. If you simulcast the show to YouTube, that replay link works; otherwise upload the file you saved.
My saved broadcast is huge. How big can it be?
A saved broadcast can be as long as 10 hours or as large as 5 GB. Files up to 2 GB upload before your first pack, and larger ones start once a pack is on the account. A show longer than 10 hours is split into two files.
Which languages besides Korean work?
99 languages are detected automatically, Japanese and English among them. A Korean show with English phrases is detected on Korean and the English switches are handled.
What do I get back, and who sees the recording?
A brief with the thesis and takeaways, chapters with timestamps, the names, numbers and dates said, and exports in TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
