Frequently asked
How do I pull leadership quotes from a year of recordings?
First batch-transcribe the year (whipscribe.com/upload) Then search across everything (whipscribe.com/upload). You end up with: Exact quotes with provenance, minutes after someone asks.
Where does iPhone Voice Memos store its recordings?
Open the memo → share sheet → Save to Files / AirDrop / mail — the file is an M4A. Rename memos before exporting; 'New Recording 47' helps nobody later.
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 founders?
