Frequently asked

How do I triage podcast backlogs at 2×?

First speed the episodes (whipscribe.com/tools-online/change-speed) Then transcribe the keepers (whipscribe.com/paste). You end up with: A tamed queue and text for the best of it.

Where does Dictation recorders store its recordings?

Olympus/Philips units save DSS/DS2 to internal memory; pull via USB and the vendor's transfer tool or direct file copy. DSS/DS2 needs conversion to WAV/MP3 first — then the dictation transcribes excellently.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The free preparation tools run entirely in your browser (WebAssembly), and transcription is a web upload with an instant no-signup preview.

Is my file uploaded during the preparation steps?

No — the tools-online steps (extract, compress, trim, convert, clean up) process the file locally in your browser. Audio only uploads when you choose to transcribe it.

How accurate is the transcription?

Clear audio in major languages transcribes near-publishable; noisy or accented audio deserves a review pass. The instant preview shows real output on your own recording before you commit anything.
