How it works

One long file, one complete transcript.

No chopping a recording into pieces and stitching transcripts back together.

1

Upload the recording

Files up to 500 MB go in the box above. Longer recordings are usually bigger, so they continue on the upload page, up to 10 hours or 5 GB.

2

Let it run

Typically a few minutes for an hour of audio, so a long recording takes longer. The finished transcript is saved to your searchable library.

3

Read, search, export

Every speaker change is labelled and every word timestamped. Export DOCX for a report, TXT for notes, SRT or VTT for captions, JSON for your own tools.

Who records for hours

The recordings nobody wants to type up.

Lectures and seminars

A full lecture or a day of seminar talks as one searchable document. Word-level timestamps take you back to the moment a concept was explained.

Hearings and proceedings

Speaker labels separate each voice across a long session. Match each label to a name once, then find and replace in the DOCX.

All-day meetings and workshops

Record the whole day, not just the parts you remembered to capture, then search the transcript for every decision and owner.

Oral histories and stream audio

Multi-hour interviews and archived broadcasts become text you can quote with timestamps and keep in one library.
