The chain

Get the recording out of Android recorder apps

Most recorder apps save to Internal storage/Recordings (or the app's folder); share directly or pull via Files/USB. Formats vary: M4A, AMR, WAV, 3GA. AMR/3GA from older apps transcribe fine but convert to MP3 first if another tool rejects them.

Transcribe with speakers

Interviewer and subject come back as separate labeled speakers.

Cite by timestamp

Each quote carries the moment it was said — verification is one click.

What you end up with: Publication-grade quotes with timestamps to back them.
