Frequently asked questions
How do I transcribe a Riverside recording?
In Riverside, go to your recording, click Download, and export the composite video (MP4) or separate audio tracks (MP3/WAV). Upload here and get a full transcript. For podcasts with two guests, the composite export works well for speaker labeling.
Does Riverside have built-in transcription?
Yes, Riverside includes transcription on paid plans. VideoText is a useful alternative or complement if you want to: (a) transcribe exports from older recordings, (b) get a richer feature set (keyword index, chapter navigation, JSON export), or (c) avoid upgrading your Riverside plan.
Can I get podcast show notes from a Riverside transcript?
Yes. The Summary branch extracts key points and topics automatically. This is the fastest way to generate show notes from a Riverside recording — transcribe, open Summary, copy the output into your podcast platform.
Does it support separate Riverside audio tracks?
Yes. If you export separate MP3 tracks per participant, you can upload each one individually. For a combined transcript with speaker labels, upload the composite video or merged audio.
Is Riverside transcription free?
Yes. Free tier includes 3 uploads per day. Sign up for free to try.
