Frequently asked
How do I check what a source actually said?
First search the transcript (whipscribe.com/upload). You end up with: Fact-check closed in one search.
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.
