Where does Webex store its recordings?

Cloud recordings are under the Webex site's Recordings tab (MP4 download); local recordings save as MP4 on the host machine. Audio-only download, when offered, is the transcription-friendly pick.

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 journalists?
