How much does it cost to transcribe a webinar?

To try it, nothing: without an account, the trial transcribes up to the first 10 minutes of a recording, and the result page shows what you can read without paying and how to read the rest. What the free account includes today and Pro's prices are on the pricing page.

Will the questions from the chat be in the transcript?

Only the ones somebody read aloud. Typed questions, polls and the attendee list are not in the sound, so they are not in the text.

Does it tell the host from the guest speakers?

In American English, British English and Indian English, the transcript separates the voices into Speaker 1, Speaker 2 and so on; you rename each label once, and the name holds for the whole transcript. In Australian English and Philippine English, it separates them too, on recordings of up to 2 hours. If the separation fails, the transcript comes without speaker labels, and says so.

Which recording files can I upload?

The file your platform gives you, as it is: we accept MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, Opus, MP4, MOV and WebM, among others.

What happens to the webinar recordings I upload?

Your recordings and transcripts are not used to train models. In the no-account trial, the file and the transcript are deleted 48 hours later — or 7 days after payment, if you buy just that transcript; in an account, they are kept until you delete them.

Transcribe a webinar recording

Upload the recording your webinar platform let you download — usually an MP4 — and try it here, with no account. In an account, the text comes with a time on every word, a summary shaped for a talk, and the questions that were asked aloud; a blog post, a follow-up email and an FAQ can be written from it instead of from memory.

Auto detect can mishandle a recording that switches language.

Free: one recording up to 10 minutes · its transcript to read · no account · deleted after 48 hours

What you get

In an account — free or Pro, with the same features — the transcript comes with:

The talk as text, with the time: Click any line to hear that passage; the transcript follows the recording while it plays.
A summary built for a talk: The key concepts, the definitions given, the examples and demonstrations used, and the questions the audience asked with how they were answered.
Who spoke: In American English, British English and Indian English, the transcript separates the voices into Speaker 1, Speaker 2 and so on; you rename each label once, and the name holds for the whole transcript. In Australian English and Philippine English, it separates them too, on recordings of up to 2 hours. If the separation fails, the transcript comes without speaker labels, and says so.
Questions about the webinar: Ask what was said about a feature or a price; the answer points to the passages and the moment in the recording they are in.
Export: Word (DOCX), TXT, SRT and VTT, on every plan. Word or TXT for the article; SRT or VTT when the recording is published as video.
Translation: Translate the transcript for an audience in another language, and read it beside the original before it is published.

What a webinar recording holds, and what it leaves out

Only the sound is transcribed. Questions typed in the chat are in the transcript only when the host read them aloud; polls, slides and the attendee list are not. The demo narration is — including the moment it went wrong. Cut what you would not publish from the text before you export.

Every automatic transcript has errors, and they cluster on proper names, numbers and technical terms. Before you quote a passage, click the line and listen: with a time on every word, that check takes seconds. In a webinar that is product names, the figures on the slides and the names of the people who asked questions.

Long webinars

Without an account, the trial transcribes up to the first 10 minutes of a recording. On Pro, each file can be up to 8 hours, within the month's included hours; what each plan includes, the pricing page shows. See plans and prices.

On long recordings, speaker labels can wander from one section to the next — a consequence of how long audio is processed, not a setting.

Before you upload

Name the main language rather than leaving it on automatic. Automatic detection has to decide what language each stretch of speech is in, and where a recording switches language, what was said in the other one may come back translated instead of transcribed — or not come back at all. Either way nothing is marked as missing: the transcript will look complete.

Philippine English is marked “preview” in the language list: offered, but without a quality commitment yet, so check its transcript more closely before you use it.
