What a radio recording holds

Studio microphones, compressed phone lines and a lot of music.

Two kinds of voice

Presenters sit on broadcast microphones and sound close and full. Callers arrive through a phone hybrid, narrow and sometimes crackly. Both transcribe; the caller lines are where a name or number is most worth checking against the audio.

Music is left out

Songs, jingles, idents and music beds are not transcribed, so a three-hour recording with an hour of records comes back as the two hours of talk, each part placed at its own time in the file. Spoken ad reads, and a presenter talking over the opening bars of a song, are kept.

Matching the station log

Every passage carries the time it was said from the start of the file. Line that up with the log and you can find a disputed on-air remark, an ad read or a competition answer in a minute rather than scrubbing. Producers also use the text to lift a segment for the station's podcast feed.

A month of weekday shows

Twenty-two weekday shows of three hours each run to 66 hours, or 3,960 minutes. That is past the $12 pack, so the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes covers the month, with 1,040 minutes for specials.

Logger audio without text

The logger keeps every hour. Nobody can search it.

✗ Searching by ear

A complaint arrives about something said on Tuesday's show, and someone scrubs three hours to find it.

  • Scrubbing logger audio by ear
  • Song lyrics garbling the captions
  • Callers' names guessed at
  • Services that stop at sixty minutes
  • No timestamps to quote the log
  • A monthly plan per presenter

✓ Finding it in the text

The show comes back as text with times, chapters and the callers' questions.

  • Six minutes or so for a show
  • Talk kept, records left out
  • Callers' questions listed
  • Times that match the log
  • Packs of 500 to 5,000 minutes
  • Text for the station's podcast page

01:00:20 Top of the hour. The lines are open on the council's bin collection changes, and the board is already full.
01:04:45 They moved our day to Thursday without a letter. Half the street put the bins out on Monday.
01:06:10 We asked the council for a statement this morning. I will read it out after this next record.
01:11:30 Here it is. They say letters went out last week and the old days run until the end of the month.
01:13:55 Well, ours did not arrive. Maybe check the postcode list again.

FAQ

Radio studio recordings, common questions.

How long does a three-hour show take?

Six minutes, give or take. Speed runs at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio, and music sections do not slow it down.

What does a show cost to transcribe?

First-time visitors have the first 20 minutes free. A three-hour show is 180 minutes, so the rest fits the $6 pack of 500 minutes. A month of weekday shows, about 3,960 minutes, fits the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes.

Are the songs transcribed?

No. Music, jingles and sound effects are not turned into text. Presenters, guests, callers and spoken ads are.

Can I send a whole day of logger audio?

Files are accepted up to 10 hours or 5 GB each. A full 24-hour log goes in as three files, and cutting it at the top of an hour keeps each file's times easy to match against the log. Pre-pack uploads are capped at 2 GB, and a heavier file waits until a pack is on the account.

Which languages work on air?

99 languages are detected automatically. A show is detected on its main language, and a programme that switches between English and Tagalog is handled.

Which exports are there, and who sees the audio?

Exports cover TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. Broadcast audio stays private: recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
