How to Use Interview Transcription

Start for free — no credit card, no software to install.

  1. Upload the interview recording

    Bring in the raw audio from your recorder or phone once the conversation is over.
  2. Read the transcript against your notes

    Since speakers aren't labeled, cross-check the text with your own memory or notes to attribute lines.
  3. Pull direct quotes from the text

    Copy the exact wording you need instead of re-listening to find a quote.

Use cases

What Can You Create with Interview Transcription?

From TikTok to podcasts — here's where creators use this tool most.

  • Fact-checking a quote before publishing

    Confirm the exact wording of what a source said rather than relying on memory.
  • Turning a research interview into analyzable text

    Get a written record of a qualitative interview to code or reference later.
  • Speeding up story drafting after a sit-down interview

    Work from a transcript instead of re-listening to a full recording while writing.
  • Archiving source interviews for later reference

    Keep a searchable text record of past interviews rather than a folder of untitled audio files.

About this tool

Everything you need to know about Interview Transcription

Before you rely on this for an interview: there are no speaker labels. A recorded conversation between you and a source comes back as a single unbroken transcript, not split into separate speaker tags — you'll need to read it and mark who said what yourself, which matters for a quote-heavy piece. What you do get is the words, verbatim as spoken, plus the recording's duration, with language auto-detected. A typical interview runs well inside the free tier's 20 minutes or Lite's 1 hour; a longer sit-down fits Pro's 3-hour ceiling. Long interviews process as a background job rather than a live wait, so submit the file once you're done recording.

FAQ

Interview Transcription — FAQ

Does the transcript show who said what?

No — there are no speaker labels, so an interview with two or more people comes back as one continuous block of text that you'll need to attribute yourself.

Is this safe to use for a direct quote?

The transcript reflects the words as spoken, but always cross-check a quote against the audio before publishing, since there's no confidence or accuracy score attached.

How long can an interview recording be?

20 minutes on Free, 1 hour on Lite, 3 hours on Pro and 6 hours on Max, per uploaded file.

Can I translate the interview into another language afterward?

No, transcript translation isn't part of this tool — you get the text in the language it was spoken.
