Whipscribe
Bahadurgarh, Haryana, India
What it is
Whipscribe turns eligible podcast links or uploaded recordings into timestamped, searchable transcripts. Users can submit Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Buzzsprout, Substack, Podbean, RSS, or YouTube episode links, with audio fetching handled automatically when permitted. URL retrieval is limited to Creative Commons or public-domain sources, so it will not fetch copyrighted or paywalled material on a user’s behalf. Automatic diarization labels voices as Speaker 1, Speaker 2, and so on, with word-level timestamps. Exports include TXT, SRT, VTT, DOCX, and JSON; DOCX show notes and SRT/VTT captions are also described. Tools include transcript search, chapter-marked summaries, key quotes, social blurbs, and chat answers containing quoted timestamps. The pricing page says 99+ languages are auto-detected. Audio is processed on private infrastructure, not sent to OpenAI, Google, or other transcription services, and not used to train models. Plans include a free first transcript and paid one-time credit packs.
