Practical workflows for turning a recording into something you can hand in, publish or file. Written from what the transcriber really does, including what it does not do.
How to transcribe an interview
Step by step: how to record, transcribe and check an interview so the quotes hold up. What affects accuracy, how to handle two voices, and how to get from transcript to article.
How to transcribe a lecture and study from it
A workflow for recording a class, transcribing it and turning the text into notes you can study from, including why the transcript itself is not the study material.
How to write meeting minutes from a recording
Turn a recorded meeting into usable minutes: what to capture, how to transcribe it, how to handle the lack of speaker labels, and how to get to decisions and action items.
How to convert a video to text
Two routes depending on where the video is: paste the link if it is online, or pull the audio out of the file first. What to expect and what this does not produce.
How to write a script for a video from a recording
Turn a talk, a stream or an interview you already recorded into a script for YouTube, a Short, TikTok or a Reel — and why the transcript is never the script.
How to transcribe a WhatsApp voice message
Export the voice note and get it as text. WhatsApp voice messages are OPUS files and upload directly — why they transcribe unusually well, and what to consider first.
How to summarise a long video
Transcribe first, then summarise: how to get the substance out of a two-hour video, what a summary reliably gets wrong, and why the transcript stays useful afterwards.
