Transcribe Interviews with Timestamps
Interview transcription is not only about producing a block of words. A useful draft keeps each answer close to its source so a writer, researcher, or editor can verify a quote, locate a detail, and distinguish a question from an answer during the editing process.

Why this workflow helps
Interview Transcription with a transcript you can verify
This browser workflow accepts common audio and MP4 files, runs the model locally, and presents the result as timestamped segments. Add the interviewer name, guest name, organization names, places, and specialist vocabulary before processing so the words that matter are easier to find during review.
Speaker labels are assigned manually in the current version. That keeps the limitation visible: automatic diarization is not promised, and conversations with interruptions, cross-talk, or distant microphones require careful listening. Export the checked result as TXT, JSON, SRT, or VTT.
How it works
Three steps from recording to editable text
Protect names and quotes
Add the interviewer, guest, organizations, locations, and specialist terms that should be checked in the transcript.
Verify before publishing
Replay timestamps for quotations, edit the answer text, assign manual labels, and export the format needed by your writing or editing workflow.
What to expect
Designed around practical review
Keep questions and answers connected
Segment timing helps an editor locate the original wording instead of relying on an unverified paraphrase or a copied block of text.
Review the words with consequences
Names, figures, dates, job titles, and direct quotes deserve a second listen even when the general meaning of the transcript looks correct.
Use the output as an editable draft
The transcript is designed to speed up research and editing. It is not a publication-ready record without human review.
Review before export
A timestamp keeps important words close to the source
Example output only. The actual transcript depends on the recording, language, microphone, and background noise.

Questions about this workflow
Interview Transcription FAQ
Can I label the interviewer and guest?
Yes. Assign Speaker 1 through Speaker 4 to each segment during review. The current local build does not automatically identify speakers.
How do I verify a direct quote?
Click the segment timestamp or a word to jump to its estimated audio position, then compare the text with the recording before publishing.
Can I add a guest name before processing?
Yes. Add the guest name, organization, products, places, and specialist words to the names and terms field.
Which export is best for an editor?
TXT is convenient for reading, JSON preserves structure, and SRT or VTT are useful when the interview will be paired with video captions.
