Upload guide

Prepare recordings for transcription review

Transcription is most useful when the output can be checked, exported, and found again after the audio is processed.

Name the source clearly

Include the meeting, episode, interview, or call topic so saved transcripts stay easy to recognize.

Plan the review step

Use timestamps and speaker context when quotes, decisions, or names need verification.

Pick the export target

Use TXT for a quick transcript, captions for publishing, or structured data for downstream tools.

Workflow fit

Choose audio transcription when the transcript must be reviewed and reused.

Choose this workflow when you need more than a converter: timestamps, speaker context, export choices, and saved transcript output.

User goal

Reliable transcript review

Best when recordings contain quotes, decisions, names, or details that need checking.

TXT is the free export. Markdown, JSON, SRT, VTT, and CSV are available for structured transcription workflows.

Can I search old transcripts?
