Transcribe university lectures in Ireland, a semester at a time.
A three-hour university lecture recorded in Ireland comes back as text in about 6 minutes, and the first 20 minutes are free. A twelve-week module of two-hour lectures is 1,440 minutes, which fits on a $12 pack of 2,000 minutes.
What a semester looks like here
Every lecture, searchable by the week before the exam.
Revise by chapter
Chapters with timestamps follow the topics the lecturer moved through, so revision starts at the part you did not follow instead of at minute one. The questions the lecture answers make ready flashcards.
Links or files
If the lecture is on YouTube or Vimeo, paste the link. If your course page only lets you download the recording, save it and drop it on upload page; check that your university lets you keep a copy first.
The arithmetic for a semester
One module of twelve two-hour lectures is 1,440 minutes, on the $12 pack of 2,000. Three modules come to 4,320 minutes, which belong on the $24 pack of 5,000, about $0.29 per audio hour.
Notes that quote the lecturer
Key quotes come back with the lecturer named and a timestamp, so a definition in your notes can be traced to the moment it was given, which helps when two sources disagree before an exam.
Why long lectures are awkward elsewhere
A three-hour lecture is longer than most free tools will take.

- Free tools that stop at 30 minutes
- Captions that cannot be searched
- A monthly plan through the summer
- Notes with no link back to the audio
- A semester of recordings left unwatched

FAQ
University lectures in Ireland, the common questions.
How long does a three-hour lecture take to transcribe?
Usually about 6 minutes; each hour of audio takes about 2 to process. A two-hour lecture is usually ready in about 4.
What will a semester of lectures cost?
A single module of twelve two-hour lectures is 1,440 minutes, which goes on the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes, about $0.36 per audio hour. Three such modules, 4,320 minutes, sit on the $24 pack of 5,000. Prices are in US dollars.
How big can a recording be, and do I split long lectures?
One file can be up to 10 hours or 5 GB, so a lecture is never split. Before the first pack, uploads go up to 2 GB; a high-resolution lecture video above that starts once a pack is on the account, or you can save just the audio.
What about lectures given in Irish?
WhipScribe detects 99 languages automatically, with each recording detected on its main language. This page is written for lectures given in English; if a module is taught through Irish, try one lecture on the free first 20 minutes and read the result before you buy a pack.
Which formats come back, and who sees my recordings?
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON, from one run. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, and you can delete a lecture and its transcript whenever you want.
Can I share the transcripts with my study group?
Download the DOCX or TXT and share it as you would your own notes, within whatever your university allows for lecture material. The recording and transcript in your account stay private to you.
