Make an audio archive searchable
Every speech, every townhall, every opponent statement — on the record.
The chain
Get the recording out of WhatsApp voice notes
Long-press → forward/share a voice note to email/drive, or use chat export (with media) to get the .opus files out. Voice notes are OGG/Opus — they upload for transcription directly, no conversion needed.
Batch-transcribe the archive
Upload the backlog; each file becomes timestamped text.
Search text, jump to audio
Find the phrase, click the timestamp, hear the original.
For campaign teams: Opponent statements are searchable with timestamps.
Frequently asked
How do I make an audio archive searchable?

Where does WhatsApp voice notes store its recordings?
Long-press → forward/share a voice note to email/drive, or use chat export (with media) to get the .opus files out. Voice notes are OGG/Opus — they upload for transcription directly, no conversion needed.
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?
Opponent statements are searchable with timestamps.
