A real file-to-transcript workflow
The podcast workflow starts with a finished episode file and ends with editable transcripts, caption files, and source text for repurposing.
- Upload audio or video files directly from your browser.
- Review clean transcript text with timestamps and speaker options.
- Export TXT, SRT, DOCX, and timed text outputs when the job is complete.
Privacy handling for uploaded recordings
Transcription often involves client calls, internal meetings, interviews, or class material. These pages should make the handling model clear before users upload.
- Uploaded media is processed to generate transcripts and downloadable output files.
- Uploaded media is automatically deleted from the processing environment shortly after transcripts are generated.
- Transcript outputs remain available in the user dashboard until the user deletes them or requests removal.
- TranscribeText applies encryption in transit and at rest, segregated processing queues, and restricted production access.
