Queue the batch
Upload the day's files together — each becomes its own transcript with speakers and timestamps.

Ten recordings review in the time one would take to replay.
For filmmakers & editors: Rushes become a paper edit the day they're shot.
Frequently asked
How do I process a whole day of recordings in one go?
First queue the batch (whipscribe.com/upload) Then skim, don't listen (whipscribe.com/upload). You end up with: The daily backlog cleared in one sitting, every file searchable.
Where does YouTube store its recordings?
Your own uploads: Creator Studio → Content → download. Any public video: paste the URL directly — no download round-trip needed. For URL-based transcription, paste the link at /paste and skip the file entirely.
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 filmmakers & editors?
Rushes become a paper edit the day they're shot.
