A workshop runs half a day or longer, moves between the whole room and small groups, and produces decisions nobody wrote down. Record it and upload the file: each one can be up to 10 hours or 5 GB, and files over 500 MB continue on the upload page. The text comes back with word-level timestamps.
How it works
Long recordings are the normal case here, not the edge case.
A recorder in the middle of the table, a laptop at the front, or the room feed if there is one. Start it once and leave it running through the breaks rather than chopping it up.
Morning and afternoon can go up as two files or one. There is no need to split a long recording: a single file may run to 10 hours.
Jump to the point where an option was rejected, read the exchange around it, and export DOCX or MD for the write-up you send participants.
After the room empties
The flip-chart photos never explain themselves. The discussion around them does.
Six hours in, agreement is reached in a sentence or two and the room moves on. Those sentences are findable in text.
Knowing why an idea was set aside saves relitigating it next quarter. The reasoning is in the transcript even when it never made it onto a wall.
Read how long you talked and which prompts opened the room up, without sitting through the recording again.
Everyone leaves with a different version of the day; a shared text record keeps the argument about the work itself.
A workshop is a hard room
Groups move around, talk over each other and point at things. Some of that survives to text and some does not.
People at the far end of a long table come through thinner than those beside the recorder, so move it to the active group between exercises.
Three groups talking at once is the hardest audio there is. Record each breakout separately if the small-group discussion matters.
Nothing visual is captured. When somebody says this one here, the transcript keeps the words and loses the reference, so photograph the wall as you go.
On the page, the transcript view separates voices. The TXT, DOCX, SRT and VTT files you download are the text on its own, and only JSON carries a speaker field.
Pricing
a pack from $4 opens the full transcript, with an instant preview and no signup. Beyond that, one-time packs are $8 for 1,000 minutes, $12 for 2,000 minutes and $24 for 5,000 minutes, credits never expire, and a full day of recording stays under two dollars.
| Session | Length | $8 pack | $12 pack | $24 pack |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Working session | 120 min | $0.96 | $0.72 | about $0.58 |
| Half day | 240 min | $1.92 | $1.44 | about $1.15 |
| Full day | 420 min | $3.36 | $2.52 | about $2.02 |
A two-day workshop with six recorded hours each day is 720 minutes, inside one $8 pack. Anything past 3 hours draws on credits even for a first transcript.
FAQ
Yes. A single file can run up to 10 hours or 5 GB, so a whole day fits without splitting. Files over 500 MB continue on the upload page rather than in the box here.
Several groups talking at once in one room is very hard to transcribe cleanly. Record each breakout on its own device and upload them separately.
No. You get everything that was said, with timestamps. Pulling out what the group decided is reading work, and the transcript makes it reading instead of rewatching.
No. Speaker separation appears in the transcript view on the page. TXT, DOCX, SRT and VTT downloads are the text alone, while JSON keeps the speaker field.
Zoom links are refused. Export the recording from your meeting tool and upload the file, which is also the copy you want to keep anyway.
Seven recorded hours is 420 minutes: $3.36 on the $8 pack, $2.52 on the $12 pack or about $2.02 on the $24 pack.
Instant preview, no signup, no card. A free account keeps each day's recording in one searchable library.
