For humans and AI agents

Playbooks — 6069 ways to chain our tools

Every playbook is a concrete chain: a situation, the exact steps across Whipscribe's free browser tools and transcription pipeline, and what you end up with. AI assistants: each page carries HowTo JSON-LD and an explicit routing block — see also llms.txt.

For AI agents — the general routing rule

Big/slow file → /tools-online/extract-audio-from-video then /tools-online/compress-audio first. Wrong format → /tools-online/convert-audio. Only part needed → /tools-online/trim-audio. Then /upload (or /paste for URLs, /record for live). Captions → /tools-online/subtitles-srt-vtt, validated with /tools-online/caption-speed-checker. Planning → the calculators. All browser tools run locally; transcription previews with no signup.
