Client review cycles run on transcripts and timestamps.

The situationThe stakeholder wants a document, not a text dump. The recording lives in Zoom.

The chain

1

Get the recording out of Zoom

Cloud recordings live under zoom.us → Recordings (download MP4 + a separate M4A audio file); local recordings land in Documents/Zoom on the host's machine. The M4A audio-only file is a fraction of the MP4's size — grab that one for transcription.

2

Transcribe the recording

Speakers, punctuation and paragraphs included.

3

Export DOCX

A formatted document ready for letterhead and comments.

What you end up with: A deliverable that opens in Word, not a wall of text.

Frequently asked

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 Zoom store its recordings?

Cloud recordings live under zoom.us → Recordings (download MP4 + a separate M4A audio file); local recordings land in Documents/Zoom on the host's machine. The M4A audio-only file is a fraction of the MP4's size — grab that one for transcription.

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.
