Transcribe a Panopto recording
Panopto (Lecture capture). Panopto sessions can be downloaded as MP4 (podcast download) when your institution enables it. 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.
