How it works

From the call log to a transcript in three steps.

Transcribing is the quick part. Most of the effort is getting the recording file out of wherever the call was saved.

1

Get the recording file

On a phone, open the recorder or call-recording app, find the call, and use Share or Export to save it to your files or send it to your computer. Calling apps and business phone systems usually keep recordings in a call history or admin portal with a download button.

2

Drop it on the page

Upload the file here, or on the upload page if it is over 500 MB. Common audio formats such as MP3, M4A and WAV work, and so do video files if the call was recorded with video.

3

Read, search and export

Each voice on the call gets a speaker label. Search for a name, a number or a promise, then export DOCX, TXT, SRT, VTT or JSON.

Where call recordings come from

Every kind of call recording, one upload box.

If the call can be saved as an audio or video file, it can be transcribed.

Mobile phone calls

Call recorders save each call as an audio file on the phone. Share it to your computer or email it to yourself.

Internet calling apps

Download the recording as a file first: a link that needs you signed in cannot be fetched by anyone else.

Business phone systems

Whoever manages the phone system can download individual recordings from the call log.

Voicemail and phone interviews

Saved voicemails and phone interviews work the same way: one file in, one transcript out.

Where the transcript goes

What people do with a call transcript.

A call you can read is a call you can quote, share and search months later.

Keep an exact record

Quote what was agreed on a sales, supplier or landlord call instead of relying on memory. Word-level timestamps take you to the exact line in the audio.

Write notes and follow-ups

Skim a 40-minute call in a few minutes, then write your own summary and next steps from the text.

Research and journalism

Phone interviews become searchable text for quotes and fact-checking, kept in your transcript library.

Training and call review

Teams read back support or sales calls to find the moments worth coaching on, without replaying every recording end to end.

Before you record

Recording-consent laws vary. Check yours.

Some places allow a call to be recorded when one person on the call agrees; others require everyone on the call to agree, and the rules can differ when callers are in different states or countries. Check the rules that apply to you and the other party before you record or share a call. This page is general information, not legal advice.

FAQ

Phone call transcription, answered.

How do I transcribe a recorded phone call?

Save the call recording as a file, then drop it into the upload box on this page. You get a transcript with speaker labels and word-level timestamps. Preview instantly with no signup; a pack from $4 opens the full transcript.

Can Whipscribe record my calls?

No. Whipscribe transcribes recordings you already have. Record the call with your phone, calling app or phone system, then upload the file.

How do I get a call recording off my phone?

Open the app that recorded the call, find the recording, and use Share or Export to save it to your files, your computer or a cloud folder. Then upload that file here.

Will it tell the two speakers apart?

Yes. Transcripts come with speaker labels, so a two-person call reads as a back-and-forth between two labelled speakers rather than one block of text.

Is it legal to record and transcribe a phone call?

It depends on where you and the other person are. Some places require only one party to agree, others require everyone on the call. Check the rules that apply to you; this is not legal advice.

What does a call transcript cost?

Packs from $4 for 500 minutes. After that, packs are $4 for 500 minutes, so a 20-minute call costs about 16 cents. Credits never expire.

How long can the recording be?

Up to 10 hours or 5 GB per file. The box on this page takes files up to 500 MB; larger files continue on the upload page.

Which export formats are there?

TXT and DOCX for reading and sharing, SRT and VTT for captions, and JSON with word-level timestamps for your own tools.
