Upload body-worn camera video and get a searchable transcript with speaker labels and word-level timestamps, so you can find the moments that matter in hours of footage. These are working transcripts for review, not certified transcripts. Files over 500 MB continue on the upload page. Packs from $4 at any length · instant preview, no signup · packs from $4 for 500 minutes, credits never expire.
How it works
Read and search first, then watch the passages that matter.
Video and audio files: MP3, MP4, M4A, WAV, WebM, FLAC, OGG and MOV. Up to 10 hours or 5 GB per file; the box above takes 500 MB and larger files continue on the upload page.
Search for a word, a name or an instruction. Every word carries a timestamp, and voices get speaker labels.
Note the timestamp, then watch that part of the original video to confirm what was said and what happened.
Who uses it
Teams receiving many hours of disclosed footage can read and search it first, then spend viewing time on the passages that matter to the case.
Investigators can search several cameras' recordings of one incident for a phrase, an instruction or a name, and line up when each was said.
Reporters reviewing released footage can find what was said and check it against the video before quoting it. See Whipscribe for journalism.
Export TXT or DOCX to annotate and share with a team, or SRT and VTT to put the words on screen while you review.
What this is not
General guidance, not legal advice.
Whipscribe transcripts are automatic working copies for review. They are not certified and are not presented as evidence or as court-admissible. When a matter needs a certified transcript, use a human service: see human transcription services.
Body camera audio is often hard: wind, sirens, radio traffic and people talking over each other. Treat the transcript as an index and confirm every passage you rely on against the footage.
Footage can show bystanders, victims, children, homes and medical emergencies. Only upload what you are permitted to process, and handle transcripts under the same disclosure terms, orders or newsroom policies as the video.
For legal work, see legal transcription services for when a human-prepared transcript is the better choice.
