The chain
Get the recording out of Zencastr
Per-guest audio tracks appear in the dashboard after upload completes; download each track (WAV/MP3). Wait for the post-call upload to finish before grabbing tracks — partial files are a classic gotcha.

They read in 5 minutes what took 50 to say.
For filmmakers & editors: Cuts and audio move to remote collaborators sanely.
Frequently asked
How do I hand a recorded decision to another team?
First transcribe the decision meeting (whipscribe.com/upload) Then hand off text + timestamps (whipscribe.com/upload). You end up with: A handoff that carries the why.
Where does Zencastr store its recordings?
Per-guest audio tracks appear in the dashboard after upload completes; download each track (WAV/MP3). Wait for the post-call upload to finish before grabbing tracks — partial files are a classic gotcha.
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 filmmakers & editors?
Cuts and audio move to remote collaborators sanely.
