Frequently asked
How do I deliver a transcript as a formatted document?
First transcribe the recording (whipscribe.com/upload) Then export docx (whipscribe.com/upload). You end up with: A deliverable that opens in Word, not a wall of text.
Where does SquadCast store its recordings?
Sessions list per-participant WAV downloads in the dashboard once processing completes. Per-speaker WAVs are big — compress before moving them around.
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.

Transcribe the recording (/upload) → Export DOCX (/upload)
The browser tools run locally (nothing uploads during convert/trim/extract/compress);

output quality on their own audio before committing. Machine-readable steps are in this
