Transcribe long recordings made with a Shure MV5 the mic records, your app saves, we transcribe.
A 90-minute recording made with a Shure MV5 is back as text in about 3 minutes once you export it from your recording app and upload it. The first 20 minutes are free; four weekly 90-minute episodes are 360 minutes, inside the $6 pack of 500, and a 50-episode back catalogue, 4,500 minutes, fits the $24 pack of 5,000.
Where the MV5 file lives
The MV5 is a microphone, not a recorder. The file sits in whichever app you recorded with.
Find the file in your app
The MV5 plugs into a computer, or a phone with the right cable, and the recording is saved by the app you used: Shure's own app, GarageBand, Audacity, a voice recorder app or a call tool. Look for an export or share option, save the recording as MP3, M4A or WAV, then drop it here. Menu names vary, so check your app's help.
Export size for long recordings
An MP3 at 128 kbps is about 58 MB an hour, so 90 minutes is roughly 86 MB. A 48 kHz, 24-bit WAV of the same length is around 1.6 GB: it still uploads before a pack, through the main upload page rather than this box. For speech, MP3 or M4A loses nothing that matters.
Episodes and a back catalogue
A weekly 90-minute show is 360 minutes a month, inside the $6 pack of 500 with 140 to spare. Fifty past episodes of the same length are 4,500 minutes, which the $24 pack of 5,000 covers with 500 left. Already published? Paste the YouTube link or the podcast's RSS feed instead.
What a long episode becomes
Each recording returns with a brief of its thesis and takeaways, chapters with timestamps you can paste into show notes, and the names, numbers and dates that were said. Hosts and guests are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters, and the chat finds the story you told in episode twelve.
Long recordings without text
The MV5 made the voice sound good. The words are still locked in the audio.

FAQ
Shure MV5 recordings, answered.
How long does a 90-minute MV5 recording take?
Close to 3 minutes, given about 2 minutes of processing per audio hour. A three-hour live session takes about 6.
Does WhipScribe work inside the MV5 or Shure's app?
No. There is no Shure integration, plugin or bot. Export the recording from your app as a file and upload it, or paste a link where it is already published.
Which file should I export?
MP3, M4A or WAV all upload. For a long recording, MP3 or M4A keeps the file small; if your app's export options look different, any common audio format will usually do.
What does a 50-episode back catalogue cost?
Fifty episodes of 90 minutes are 4,500 minutes, which fit the $24 pack of 5,000. Minutes never expire, so the remaining 500 carry over to new episodes.
My recording is over 10 hours. What then?
One file can be up to 10 hours or 5 GB, so a longer session goes in as two files. Before the first pack, uploads stop at 2 GB.
Which exports come back, and is my audio private?
Downloads come as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. Your recordings are transcribed on our own servers and never used for training.
