Interview transcription for researchers and reporters
One hour of interviews takes four hours to transcribe by hand. Upload the recording, get the text, and spend the time you save on the actual analysis.
Every researcher and journalist knows the ritual: the interview is over, the recorder holds 90 minutes of gold, and quoting any of it means scrubbing through audio at half-speed for an afternoon.
A transcript turns that recording into what it actually is — a document. Search it, tag it, pull exact quotes with timestamps gone and punctuation in, and cite the sentence instead of the minute mark.
Whisper handles two-speaker conversations, accented English, and 90+ languages. Three interviews a day are free, no account needed.

Questions, answered
Does it separate speakers?
The transcript is one continuous text with punctuation — Whisper's strength is accuracy, not diarization. Most readers find quotes easily by voice changes in the text.
How long an interview can it handle?
Files up to 25 MB per transcript — roughly an hour of compressed audio, and full-length support is on the roadmap.
Is it okay to transcribe interviews?
That's between you, your subject, and the consent you recorded — check your field's rules. We handle the files, not the ethics approval.
Can it do non-English interviews?
Yes — 90+ languages with automatic detection, including mixed-language conversations.
