Transcribe a OBS Studio recording
OBS Studio (Screen recording). OBS Studio records to MKV or MP4 with your chosen audio tracks. 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.
