Frequently asked questions
Can I transcribe a press conference with multiple speakers?
Yes. After transcribing, the Speakers branch groups speech by speaker turn. Multiple officials, moderators, and journalists asking questions are each assigned a separate speaker label. For recordings from a PA feed or broadcast stream, speaker separation is cleanest.
What formats work for press conference recordings?
MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM (video) and MP3, WAV, M4A (audio). Broadcast recordings from TV streams, official government YouTube feeds, and recorder files from press pools all work without conversion.
Can I get a summary of the key announcements?
Yes. The Summary branch automatically extracts key decisions, statements, and action items from the transcript. Useful for generating a quick brief without reading the full transcript.
Is press conference transcription free?
Yes. Free tier includes 3 uploads per day. Sign up for free to try. Pro plan is $40/month with no usage limits.
