How it works

How to transcribe an interview

An interview video uploading to Exemplary AI

Interviews for reporting, research and hiring

If the interview was recorded in Zoom or Microsoft Teams, those apps can make a transcript of their own. Bring the recording here when you need the speakers named, the text corrected like a document, the quotes pulled out, or a file in the format your editor, supervisor or hiring team uses.

Our guide to transcribing an interview covers recording and checking quotes, and our comparison of interview transcription tools weighs the options. Recorded on a call? See Zoom recordings and Teams meetings.

What it does

Interviewer and Guest, Kept Apart

The transcript reads as a conversation, so quotes are easy to find and to attribute.

Speakers separated and named

Each voice gets its own label. Detect speakers suggests names from the conversation, and you can rename, add or reassign speakers.

Who speaks most

Insights shows how much each person spoke, which is handy for panels and group interviews.

Quotes and summaries

AI Writer pulls Key quotes, Summary and Q&A out of the transcript for a write-up or a report.

Downloads for any workflow

Download PDF, SRT, VTT, TXT, Markdown, JSON and DOCX, with speaker names and timestamps in or out.

Keep going

Take the interview beyond the transcript

Create a subtitle track, find a shareable moment, or caption the complete conversation.
