Transcribe a Google Drive recording
Google Drive (Cloud storage). Google Drive holds recordings from Meet, phones and cameras as MP4, M4A, MP3 or WAV files. Once you have the file, Whipscribe turns it into a clean transcript with speaker labels and per-word timestamps, exportable to TXT, SRT, VTT, or DOCX — no conversion required, and nothing ever leaves our private infrastructure for a third-party AI service.

Right-click the file in Drive, choose Share, set it to 'Anyone with the link', copy the link and paste it here — or use the in-app Drive import from your Library.
Upload it
Drop the file into Whipscribe or paste a link. Free instant preview, no signup to try.
Read & export
Speaker-labeled, timestamped text in minutes. Export TXT, SRT, VTT, or DOCX.
