Upload the recording your secretary already makes: the room system, a laptop on the table, or a call recording exported to a file. The discussion comes back as text with word-level timestamps, and the transcript view shows which voice said what. Files run to 10 hours or 5 GB, with anything over 500 MB continuing on the upload page.
How it works
Nothing joins your meeting; this works from the recording afterwards.
A microphone in the middle of the table, the room's own sound system, or the recording your conferencing service saves. Download that file once the meeting closes.
Up to 500 MB drops straight into the box here; a longer recording continues on the upload page. A three-hour annual meeting stays one file.
Follow the discussion turn by turn, search for a director's name or a resolution, and export DOCX or TXT to draft the minutes from.
Why boards keep the text
Minutes say what was decided. A transcript keeps the sentences the decision was made in.
Minutes record that a motion carried; the transcript keeps the exact phrasing it was put in, which is what matters two years later.
The transcript view separates voices into turns, so the moment a director moved and the second that followed each carry a timestamp.
Send text instead of a two-hour recording, and an absent trustee reads the item that concerns them in a couple of minutes.
A search for a supplier, a budget line or a policy runs across every meeting in your library.
Before you rely on it
A verbatim record is useful because it makes no judgements about what mattered.
You get what was said, in full, not a summary and not a list of decisions. Minutes are still drafted, corrected and adopted under your own governing rules.
Who spoke is shown in the transcript view on the page. The DOCX, TXT, SRT and VTT you download hold the words only; JSON is the one export that carries a speaker field.
A recorder in the centre of the table reads far better than a phone at one end of a long boardroom.
Surnames, entity names and numbers are the usual corrections: check each against the audio at its timestamp.

FAQ
Record the meeting to an audio or video file, then drop that file into the box on this page. You get the whole discussion as text with word-level timestamps, and the first transcript costs nothing at any length.
No. Nothing joins your call and nothing sits in the room. Whipscribe works from a recording you already have.
No. You get the words that were spoken, not a summary and not a list of decisions. The transcript is what you draft the minutes from and what you check them against.
The transcript view on the page keeps each voice as its own turn. The TXT, DOCX, SRT and VTT downloads contain the text without speaker labels. If you need speaker information inside a file, export JSON.
Zoom links are refused. Export the recording from your conferencing service and upload that file.
