Transcribe long Zoom Am7 recordings a talk recorded on an Android phone, as text.
A 90-minute panel recorded on an Android phone with a Zoom Am7 comes back as text in about 3 minutes, uploaded as a file or pasted as a Google Drive link. The first 20 minutes are free on a first visit, and the 90 minutes fit the $6 pack of 500.
Plug in, record, read
The Am7 turns a phone into a stereo recorder. The file then waits in the gallery.
Which app holds the file
The Am7 plugs into the phone's USB-C port and feeds whichever app is recording: Zoom's own recorder app, another recorder or the camera. Audio apps keep their own list; video lands in the gallery. Share the recording to Files or Google Drive, then upload it or paste the share link.
Video files grow fast
If you filmed the talk, the video is the heavy part: an hour of 1080p phone video can run to several gigabytes, so a long session may pass the 2 GB allowed before a first pack. Recording audio only, or exporting the audio track, keeps a 90-minute talk at a size the 500 MB box here accepts.
Setting the mic for speech
The Am7's mid-side capsule can be pointed and its stereo width adjusted in a supported app; a narrower setting aimed at the stage favours the voice over the room. Applause and music between talks are not transcribed, only the speech.
A season of panels
Eight 90-minute panels a month make 720 minutes, which goes on the $12 pack of 2,000 with 1,280 left. Each one returns with a brief, chapters with timestamps, and the names and figures mentioned; panellists are named in the summary and key quotes.

The talk sounded fine in the room. On the phone, it is ninety minutes of audio nobody replays.

FAQ
Zoom Am7 recordings, answered.
How long does a 90-minute Am7 recording take?
Around 3 minutes. Processing takes about 2 minutes for each audio hour, so a full afternoon of four hours needs about 8.
Can I upload the video instead of audio?
Yes. Video files are accepted, and the speech is transcribed from their soundtrack. Keep in mind the box on this page 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.
What does it cost to transcribe a month of talks?
Eight 90-minute panels are 720 minutes, on the $12 pack of 2,000. One panel fits the $6 pack of 500, and the first 20 minutes on a first visit are free.
Does WhipScribe connect to the Am7 or its app?
No. There is no integration with the mic or any recording app. You share the finished file and upload it.
The panel switched between English and Spanish. Is that handled?
Languages are detected automatically from 99, and a recording that switches language is detected on its main language.
What do I get back from the Am7 file, and who sees it?
Each talk exports as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON; SRT and VTT drop straight into a video editor as subtitles. Talks you send are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
