Frequently asked
How do I dictate a document instead of typing it?
First record the dictation (whipscribe.com/record) Then export to docx (whipscribe.com/record). You end up with: A first draft at speaking speed.
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?
