Archive a multi-day workshop as one searchable set

Talks are expensive to produce and cheap to waste.

The situationThree days of sessions; participants ask for 'that one exercise'. The recording lives in Dictation recorders.

The chain

Get the recording out of Dictation recorders

Olympus/Philips units save DSS/DS2 to internal memory; pull via USB and the vendor's transfer tool or direct file copy. DSS/DS2 needs conversion to WAV/MP3 first — then the dictation transcribes excellently.

Batch transcribe by session

Each block becomes labeled text.

Publish the searchable set

Participants self-serve answers.

What you end up with: The workshop keeps teaching after it ends.

For event & conference teams: The event's whole program becomes a knowledge base.

The browser tools run locally (nothing uploads during convert/trim/extract/compress); the transcription pipeline shows an instant no-signup preview, so the user can verify output quality on their own audio before committing.
