Not everyone needs the same thing from an audio.
Pick the scenario that sounds like your day.
Research intelligence
You ran the interviews and now you need findings, not a word dump. Verbatim text plus the structure your paper or brief actually needs.
ExploreMedia intelligence
You know the real mentions live in long-form audio, not in headlines. We find the timestamp and pull the quote — before the news cycle moves on.
ExploreCompetitive intelligence
A competitor just said something important and you need the exact words, not a PR summary. Paste their keynote. Read what they actually announced.
ExploreSales intelligence
A call ended and you already forgot half of what was said. Every demo, diarized by speaker — so you can read back in 2 minutes, not re-listen for 45.
ExploreThe stack, end to end.
Ingest from anywhere, transcribe with speaker labels, analyze the content, and export to the tools your team already uses.

When AI isn't enough — compare 10 human transcription providers side by side with real per-minute rates.
Compare providersYour audio is sensitive. We treat it that way.
Whipscribe handles customer calls, voice memos, interviews, and lectures — content you'd never hand a third-party AI. Here's exactly how we protect it, with links to the pages where we prove it.
Encrypted in transit and at rest
TLS 1.2+ end-to-end between your browser and our servers, with HSTS on. At rest, your files sit on an encrypted disk volume or our S3-compatible object storage. Your audio never travels in the clear.
Never used to train AI models
Not ours, not anyone's. We run Whisper on our own infrastructure — your audio is not shipped to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or AWS for inference. No third-party training corpus ever touches your recordings or transcripts.
Delete any file, any time
Delete individual transcripts from the dashboard, or email us to purge your whole account — we honour deletion requests within 7 days. Free-tier audio is auto-deleted after 30 days; guest uploads after 3 days. GDPR erasure requests supported.
Built for trust, not badges
EU or US regional storage · every API call logged · full vault export any time. Our security page spells out the specifics — sub-processors, retention, roadmap — with zero marketing fluff.
Read the full security & trust disclosure, the privacy policy, or email security@neugence.ai for a vendor questionnaire — we reply within one business day.

Built for three jobs. Shaped to each.
We don't pretend Whipscribe is for everyone. If you do one of these three things for a living, you'll feel at home here.
Solo creator / podcaster
Cut 2 hours off every episode. Auto-generate show notes from the transcript. Burn subtitles into Shorts and Reels with frame-accurate word timings.
Podcasting workflow
Team doing CI or sales intel
Earnings calls ingested and summarised. Every demo diarized, tagged, and searchable. Patterns surface per speaker, per topic, per deal stage.
Intelligence workflows
Researcher / journalist
Interview verbatim with speaker labels. On-record / off-record tagging per segment. Diarized export ready for the pull-quote pipeline or the citation trail.
Journalism workflowYou're all set — add your first hour
Pay as you go · one hour is enough to get started. Credits never expire.

One key. Your code. Tied to this browser — keep it safe, we can't recover it.
Advanced options word timestamps · speaker diarization
Whipscribe, tailored to your work.
Four dedicated surfaces — clippers, podcasters, academics, and people who just want their voice memos to do something. Pick the one that matches your day.
Long-form in. Viral clips out — in every aspect ratio.
Drop a long recording. Get publish-ready short clips back in 9:16 / 1:1 / 4:5 / 16:9 — multi-speaker split-screens when 2+ people are talking, auto-zoom on the active speaker when one is, story-arc clip selection (problem → tension → resolution) instead of just the loudest 30 seconds, captions burned in word-by-word, AI-named titles. The honest comparison vs OpusClip / Klap / Submagic / Vizard / Descript lives at /tools/clipping; where clippers find paid work lives at /clipping/earn.
Open the clipping page For podcasters & creatorsLong-form into vertical shorts, in every ratio.
Paste an episode URL. Get a speaker-labelled transcript, ready-to-publish 9:16 / 1:1 / 4:5 / 16:9 video shorts auto-cropped to keep faces in frame, captions burned in word-for-word, an SRT for the platforms that need one, AI-named clip titles Claude wrote, and a DOCX show-notes block — in about a minute. Pipe to Buffer / Hootsuite via the MCP connector when you want the schedule loop too.
Open the podcaster page For academicsSkim your lectures. Chat with Claude about any moment.
Turn lectures, seminars, research interviews, and field recordings into searchable text with speaker labels and word-level timestamps. Recipes auto-extract key arguments, citation-ready quotes, study questions, and TLDR summaries. Drop a 90-minute lecture; come back to a 5-bullet brief, a flashcard deck, and a corpus you can ask Claude anything about. Built for professors, researchers, grad students, and scientists.
Open the academics page For yourselfVoice memos that turn into to-do lists, journals, and ideas — automatically.
Drop a 5-minute ramble. Whipscribe transcribes it; your recipes pull out next-actions, journal entries, raw ideas, follow-up emails. Saved to your Knowledge library, searchable later when you need to remember what past-you was thinking.

Honest, technical writing on transcription tradeoffs — no puffery, no invented stats, no sponsored picks.
Transcribe a podcast episode for SEO blog repurposing
One 60-minute episode feeds a blog post, show notes, and three or four Shorts. The transcript format you actually need and the three rewrites that keep Google happy.
How journalists get verbatim interview transcripts in 2026
What verbatim actually means, the tool choice that matters (speaker diarization), and why machine transcription covers 95% of interview reporting now.
Whisper API vs Whipscribe: what you actually pay and get
OpenAI's Whisper API is $0.006/min. Whipscribe is $2/hr. Same model family underneath — the difference is everything you don't build.
