Transcribe long lectures recorded with a Shure MV88 from the iPhone's Lightning port to revision notes.
A 90-minute lecture recorded on an iPhone with a Shure MV88 is text in about 3 minutes, uploaded from Files or pasted as a Drive link. The first 20 minutes are free, and three such lectures a week for 12 weeks (3,240 minutes) fit the $24 pack of 5,000.
Lecture hall to notes
The MV88 records the lecturer clearly. The revision still needs words, not audio.
Where the MV88 saves
The original MV88 plugs into the Lightning port, so it works with iPhones that have one. Shure's MOTIV app keeps its own library of recordings, and other recorder or camera apps save where they always do. Share the lecture to Files, iCloud Drive or Google Drive, then upload it or paste a link.
Settings that help
For one voice at the front of a room, a mono or narrow stereo pickup aimed at the lecturer works better than a wide one. A compressed format keeps a term's worth of lectures small; a compressed 90-minute lecture sits well under the 500 MB this page's box accepts, and a longer uncompressed file continues on the main upload page.
A term, worked out
Three 90-minute lectures a week for 12 weeks are 36 lectures and 3,240 minutes. That is more than 2,000, so the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes fits, leaving 1,760 for seminars or the next term. A single module of one lecture a week, 1,080 minutes, fits the $12 pack.
Revising from the text
Each lecture returns with a brief of its main argument, chapters with timestamps, the formulas, dates and names mentioned, and the questions it answers. Ask the chat where the lecturer defined a term and play that minute instead of the whole recording.

FAQ
Shure MV88 lectures, answered.
How long does a 90-minute MV88 lecture take?
Close to 3 minutes, since an hour of audio takes about 2. A two-lecture day of three hours takes about 6.
What does a full term cost?
Thirty-six 90-minute lectures are 3,240 minutes, on the $24 pack of 5,000. One module of twelve lectures is 1,080 minutes, on the $12 pack of 2,000. The first 20 minutes on a first visit are free.
Is this the same as the MV88+ page?
No. This page covers the original MV88 that plugs into an iPhone's Lightning port; the MV88+ connects by cable to iPhone or Android. Both send their recordings the same way: share the file, then upload it.
How large can a lecture file be?
The box here takes 500 MB; larger files continue on the main upload page, up to 10 hours or 5 GB per file and 2 GB before a first pack.
May I record my lecturer?
Ask first; many courses have a rule about recording, and some lecturers will share slides that make the transcript easier to follow. WhipScribe has no integration with the MV88 or its app and only transcribes the files you send.
Lectures in other languages, exports, privacy?
A lecture's language is picked up automatically from 99. You can export TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. Lectures are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
