Transcribe a Skype recording
Skype (Voice & video calls). Skype call recordings are saved as MP4 and stay in the chat for 30 days. 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.
