First transcribe with timestamps (whipscribe.com/upload) Then publish the timestamped agenda (whipscribe.com/upload). You end up with: An agenda that doubles as an index into the recording.

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?
