Transcripts and speakers
Accuracy, speakers, editing and export.
How long does a transcript take?
Usually a few minutes. Longer files take a bit more.
Can I get subtitles?
Yes, export your transcript as an SRT file.
How long until I get the transcript?
Usually a few minutes after the call ends.
How should an interview transcript be formatted?
A header with the interview details, then timestamped turns with consistent speaker labels.
What does clean verbatim mean?
Fillers and false starts removed, wording unchanged.
Should transcripts include timestamps?
Yes, at least at each speaker turn, so quotes can be checked against the audio.
How do I anonymise a transcript?
Replace names and identifying details consistently, and keep the original separately.
Can I get a formatted transcript automatically?
Yes. Upload the recording and edit it into this template.
How accurate is it?
Clear audio with one speaker at a time gives the best result. Check any quote against the recording before you publish it.
Can I edit the transcript?
Yes, including speaker names.
Can I edit speaker names?
Yes, once per speaker, applied across the transcript.
Can I get SRT subtitles?
Yes. Export the transcript as SRT and attach it to your video.
Does the bitrate affect accuracy?
Yes. Very compressed files give a weaker transcript than the original recording.
Can I get subtitles from an MP4?
Yes. Export the transcript as an SRT file.
Can I get subtitles from a MOV?
Yes. Export the transcript as an SRT file.
Is WAV more accurate than MP3?
Usually yes on difficult audio, because nothing has been compressed away. On clean recordings the difference is small.
Can I edit the text afterwards?
Yes, including speaker names.
How accurate is speech to text?
On clear audio with one speaker at a time, very accurate. Noise, overlapping voices and heavy compression reduce it.
Can it tell speakers apart?
Yes, each turn is attributed and the names are editable.
Do timestamps run across the whole recording?
Yes, from start to end.
