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

Remove the silence

Automatic silence-cutting drops the dead stretches and joins the speech.

3

Publish or archive the tightened cut

The same words at two-thirds the runtime.

What you end up with: Tighter audio without touching a single spoken word.

Frequently asked

How do I strip dead air before publishing?

First remove the silence (whipscribe.com/tools-online/remove-silence) Then publish or archive the tightened cut (whipscribe.com/upload). You end up with: Tighter audio without touching a single spoken word.

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.
