Interview transcription for researchers and journalists

INSIGHT turns hour-long interviews into speaker-labeled, timestamped transcripts and structured briefs, so you pull accurate quotes in minutes instead of scrubbing back through tape.

Who it is for
  • Journalists working from source interviews
  • Qualitative and UX researchers
  • Academics conducting interview studies
  • Podcast and documentary producers
What you can create
  • Interview briefs with key quotes and timestamps
  • Research session summaries organized by theme
  • Quote logs accurate enough to cite, with timestamps to verify
  • Meeting-style notes from editorial and planning calls

The workflow

Upload your recording

Audio or video up to 50 MB, in formats like MP3, WAV, M4A, and MP4. English, Spanish, and German are supported.

Review the transcript

Speaker labels and timestamps on every segment. Rename speakers before generating so the report reads correctly.

Choose a report template

The Journalism template captures quotes, context, and a fact-check list; the Research template organizes sessions by theme with supporting quotes and participant codes.

Export the draft

Download as PDF, Word, or plain text. Transcripts also export as TXT, SRT, or VTT.

Review and finalize

Verify names, facts, quotes, and conclusions against the recording. The draft saves you formatting time; the judgment stays with you.

Why researchers and journalists use it

The transcript is the product here, and INSIGHT's speaker labels and timestamps make it usable: click to the moment a quote was said and verify it against the audio. Transcripts export as TXT, SRT, or VTT for your analysis tools, and source recordings are never used to train AI models. Protecting sources and participants matters, so identifiers can be tokenized before transcript text reaches a cloud AI model.

What INSIGHT does not do

  • It does not replace professional judgment or make decisions for you.
  • It does not make legal, HR, insurance, law enforcement, or compliance determinations.
  • It does not verify facts, identities, or statements automatically.
  • It does not replace evidence-management or case-management systems.
Human review required. INSIGHT generates drafts to support documentation and review. It does not make legal, HR, insurance, law enforcement, or compliance decisions, it does not verify facts automatically, and it is not a substitute for professional judgment or evidence-management systems. Always review transcripts and reports before official use.
