Quick answers
The five questions people ask before the first upload.
- What does WhipScribe do for education recordings?
- Transcribe recorded lectures, webinars, and course videos into text students can search — with accessibility-ready captions, 99+ languages, and timestamps. Private transcription; the opening minutes are a free preview.
- How much does it cost?
- Every recording starts with a free preview of its opening minutes; a pack from $4 (300 minutes) transcribes the rest and opens every export. Credit packs: $4 = 300 min · $18 = 3,000 min · $32 = 6,000 min; credits never expire and there is no seat fee. Workspace is $19 a month for unlimited transcription (300-hour fair-use mark; 100 GB of storage included, then $3 per extra 100 GB a month).
- How long does a transcript take?
- A one-hour recording is usually ready in about two minutes; most files finish in under a minute. Files up to 10 hours or 5 GB per file.
- Is it private?
- Yes. Transcribed on our own servers; audio is never sent to a third-party AI service. Never used to train, fine-tune or evaluate any model. Delete a recording and its transcript at any time; account deletion removes every record tied to the email.
- Which languages and files does it accept?
- 99+ languages, detected automatically; the transcript comes back in the recording's language. WhipScribe translates a finished transcript into any of 99 languages with the same timestamps, so SRT and VTT stay aligned. Input: any audio or video file (MP3, MP4, M4A, WAV, FLAC, OGG, WEBM, MOV, GSM and more), a YouTube, podcast, RSS, Google Drive, Twitch or Kick link, or a microphone recording. Export: TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT, JSON.
Built for Education
What matters when transcribing education recordings?
A searchable lecture archive
A 90-minute lecture becomes ~13,000 words of searchable text. Students grep a term, a name, a formula, and jump to the exact second it was covered in the recording.
Accessibility-ready captions
SRT and VTT caption files plus a full transcript to post beside each video — the building blocks of WCAG-, ADA-, and Section 508-aligned course content. You get the files; your accessibility office confirms policy fit.
99+ languages for global cohorts
Transcribe in the source language for native-speaker courses, or export an English translation track so international students can follow a recorded lecture. Timing is preserved.
Lecturer and questions, attributed
The summary, key quotes and chapters name the lecturer and the people asking questions; every line of the transcript carries its timestamp, so you can jump to any exchange in the seminar or Q&A.
How it works
How do I transcribe an education recording?
Drop or paste
A file, a YouTube link, a podcast link or an RSS feed. Up to 10 hours or 5 GB per file.
Read in a minute
Timestamps, a summary and AI chat over the transcript. Click any line to hear it.
Get the brief, not just the text
The Intelligence tab reads the recording back to you: a short brief, chapters, the names and numbers that were said, and the questions it answers. Export TXT, SRT, VTT, DOCX or JSON whenever you want it elsewhere.
Intelligence
What comes back from an education recording?
Macro 1 — week 6: price floors and supply shocks
Brief overview
Builds the price-floor model, then stress-tests it against the 1973 oil shock for the rest of the hour.
- The surplus under a binding floor is derived twice — algebraically, then on the diagram at 21:05.
- The oil shock is used as the counter-example: a supply shift, not a floor, so the diagram moves differently.
- Problem set 4 questions 2 and 5 are taken directly from the second derivation.
Questions this recording answers
- Where does the surplus formula come from?
- Derived on the diagram from 21:05 — the area between the floor and the demand curve, bounded by the new quantity.
- Which problem set questions did she flag?
- Problem set 4, questions 2 and 5, both from the second derivation.
Chapters
- Recap: ceilings from last week
- Binding vs non-binding floors
- Deriving the surplus on the diagram
- 1973 as a supply shift
