Search across everything
Find the phrase wherever it was said; verify by timestamp.
For teachers: A year of lessons is searchable at planning time.
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 Zencastr store its recordings?
Per-guest audio tracks appear in the dashboard after upload completes; download each track (WAV/MP3). Wait for the post-call upload to finish before grabbing tracks — partial files are a classic gotcha.
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 teachers?
A year of lessons is searchable at planning time.
