Built for Dropbox

What a Dropbox recording needs from a transcription tool.

01

Share links, not downloads

Paste the Dropbox share link to a file, or to a folder that holds one recording. Whipscribe fetches it directly — nothing to download to your laptop and upload again, which matters for a 2-hour, 300 MB Zoom export.

02

Honest progress on big files

While the file is arriving from Dropbox you see the real stage — how many megabytes have landed of how many — not a bar that guesses. Transcription starts the moment the download completes.

03

Zoom cloud recordings by name

Zoom exports land in Dropbox as GMT2026… .mp4 files. The recording keeps that original name, gets a readable title from what was said, and the overview tells you what the meeting was about before you open it.

04

The overview, not just the text

Every transcript opens on an overview: chapters that jump the audio, the key quotes with their timestamps, the names, numbers and dates that came up, and the questions the recording answers — each with a play button at the moment it is answered.

How it works

Drop it, read it, export it.

Step 1

Drop or paste

A file, a YouTube link, a podcast link or an RSS feed. Up to 10 hours or 5 GB.

Step 2

Read in a minute

Speaker labels, timestamps, a summary and AI chat over the transcript. Click any line to hear it.

Step 3

Export

TXT, SRT, VTT, DOCX or JSON. Every file stays in your library, deletable any time.

Questions

FAQs for Dropbox recordings.

Which Dropbox links work?

Share links to a single file work, including links from the Dropbox mobile and desktop apps. A folder link works when the folder holds one recording. Links that need a Dropbox login will not fetch; make the link viewable by anyone with the link first.

How long does a large Dropbox file take?

Dropbox serves shared files at its own pace — a 300 MB Zoom export can take fifteen minutes to arrive. The page shows the download as it happens, and the transcription itself runs far faster than real time once the file has landed.

Is my recording stored in Dropbox touched?

No. Whipscribe reads the file through the share link and keeps its own copy for transcription; nothing in your Dropbox is changed, moved or deleted.

Paste the link. Read the overview.

Your first transcript is free at any length; leave an email to open it. Packs from $8 for 1,000 minutes after that; credits never expire.
