The chain

1

Get the recording out of OBS Studio

Recordings save to the path in Settings → Output → Recording (MKV by default; remux to MP4 via File → Remux Recordings). MKV protects against crashes but some tools reject it — remux or extract audio first.

2

Transcribe the sessions

Every talk, text by tonight.

3

Clip the peaks

Vertical highlights per speaker.

What you end up with: Recap content while badges are still on lanyards.

For agency producers: Campaign cutdowns come from timestamped selects.

Frequently asked

How do I mine a conference's own talks for recap content?

First transcribe the sessions (whipscribe.com/upload) Then clip the peaks (whipscribe.com/clipping). You end up with: Recap content while badges are still on lanyards.

Where does OBS Studio store its recordings?

Recordings save to the path in Settings → Output → Recording (MKV by default; remux to MP4 via File → Remux Recordings). MKV protects against crashes but some tools reject it — remux or extract audio first.

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 agency producers?

Campaign cutdowns come from timestamped selects.
