      An interview transcript needs more than a block of words. The useful version shows where each answer begins, keeps questions and responses easy to follow, and lets speaker names be corrected once across the conversation. Upload audio or video, choose speaker identification for several voices, review names and specialist terms against the recording, and download text for quoting or timed subtitles for playback.

      How to do it

      1. Upload the interview as an audio or video file.
      2. Choose Highest quality and Identify Speakers when the recording has several voices.
      3. Rename speakers and review names, places, numbers, and quoted wording.
      4. Download TXT for reading and quoting, or a timed subtitle format for playback.

      Questions

      How do I label the interviewer and guest?

      Turn on Identify Speakers, then rename each detected speaker in the transcript. The chosen name is applied throughout the recording.

      What happens when people talk over each other?

      Overlapping speech is harder to separate. Use the highest available quality and review those moments against the recording before quoting them.

      Can I find every answer from one speaker?

      Yes. Search the transcript and use speaker filtering when speaker identification is present.

      Which details deserve a careful review?

      Check names, organizations, places, numbers, technical language, and any wording you plan to quote. Those details carry more risk when they are slightly wrong.
