In depth
One hour of tape, three hours of typing
The recorder did its job — now comes the part nobody enjoys. Pause, rewind five seconds, type a line, rewind again. A one-hour conversation eats half a workday, and by the end you can barely tell which line was your source and which was your own follow-up question. It stings most when you need a single exact quote but have to replay the whole file to find it. Transcribing an interview by hand has nothing to do with the meaning of the talk — it's mechanical, second-by-second labor that burns out reporters, researchers and assistants alike.
Upload the file, get a labeled dialogue
Vibe2Text takes your audio or video (a link works too), recognizes the speech and immediately separates the voices: interviewer and source appear as distinct blocks, each with a timecode. From there you work in an editor, not a player — you name the speakers, fix surnames, brands and jargon the machine may have misheard. The original audio plays right next to the text, so if a word looks off, you click the line and replay exactly that moment. Once it's clean, export to DOCX for editing, TXT for your CMS, or Markdown for a blog. A short summary of the talk and a list of your source's key points are available separately.
What to check before you publish
Automatic recognition almost always stumbles on proper names, rare terms and numbers — start there, especially for anything going to print. Second, honor what was agreed on the record. Mark off-the-record lines inside the text so they never slip into the article by accident. If you recorded on a phone mic in a noisy cafe, expect more typos on the crosstalk — budget vetting time for those spots. And keep the raw TXT archived apart from the edited version, so you can always return to what was literally said if a dispute over quote accuracy comes up.

Transcription questions
How do I turn a long interview into text?
Upload the whole file — up to 4 GB, no need to cut it into pieces. An hour of talk is processed in minutes instead of replayed by hand. You get a speaker-labeled dialogue with timecodes that opens straight in the editor for quote vetting.
Are names and terms recognized accurately?
Everyday speech comes through reliably, but proper names, brands and rare terms are worth checking by hand — done right in the editor with the disputed fragment playing. Click the line, hear the original, fix the word. For a printed quote this check is a must.
Will it separate the reporter and the source?
Yes, voices are split automatically: lines appear as separate blocks and you just label them with real names. No manual 'who is speaking' markup. With several sources, each gets its own track in the text.
Can I try it free with no card?
Yes, the start is free and card-free — your first recording can be transcribed straight from the home page. You register later only if you want to keep a history of your transcripts and return to them.
In what form do I get the finished text?
DOCX with speaker markup is the go-to for editing, TXT is handier for a CMS, Markdown for a blog. There's JSON with timecodes too. If you worked from video, SRT and VTT subtitles are also available.
