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 Field recorders (SD-card) store its recordings?
Recordings are WAV (often broadcast-WAV) on the SD card, organized by folder/date; copy off via card reader. Multi-hour WAVs are huge — compress or extract parts before any upload.
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.
Why does this matter for campaign teams?
Debate tape reviews at speed.
