Mine a conference's own talks for recap content
Hours of VOD hide the minutes that should become clips.
The chain
Get the recording out of QuickTime / macOS screen recording
File → Save after recording; screen recordings are MOV in the folder you chose (Desktop by default). For narration-only use, extract the audio — the MOV's video is usually dead weight.
Transcribe the sessions
Every talk, text by tonight.
Clip the peaks
Vertical highlights per speaker.
For streamers: Clip-worthy moments are found by searching what you said.
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 QuickTime / macOS screen recording store its recordings?
File → Save after recording; screen recordings are MOV in the folder you chose (Desktop by default). For narration-only use, extract the audio — the MOV's video is usually dead weight.
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 streamers?
Clip-worthy moments are found by searching what you said.
