Frequently asked
How do I repurpose a webinar into course material?
First transcribe it (whipscribe.com/upload) Then cut lesson clips (whipscribe.com/clipping). You end up with: A course drafted from a webinar you already gave.
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 l&d & corporate trainers?
Modules cut into micro-lessons with captions.
