Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes — transcribing interviews up to 5 minutes is free with no signup. For longer recordings, AI summaries, and exports, create a free account.
What is the best free interview transcription software?
For occasional interviews, free browser-based software like this tool is hard to beat: no install, no signup, automatic speaker labels, and downloads as TXT, SRT, VTT, PDF, or Word. Researchers, journalists, recruiters, and qualitative analysts who transcribe regularly get more from account-based software with AI summaries and longer file limits — either way, dedicated software beats manual transcription, which takes roughly four times the recording's length.
Does it label who is speaking?
Yes — interviews are automatically split by speaker, so the interviewer and interviewee are clearly separated. Clear two-person conversations are among the easiest audio for AI to transcribe accurately.
Can I transcribe a video interview?
Yes. Upload MP4 or MOV video — including Zoom or Teams recordings — and we'll transcribe the speech in it. No need to extract the audio first.
Is my recording stored anywhere?
No. Your file is sent for transcription and is not retained on our servers.
