Deadlines do not wait for transcription

An interview is only useful once it is text you can quote and search. Typing it out by hand is an hour of work you do not have when the story is due tonight. Verbatext turns the recording into clean, timestamped text in minutes, so you can pull the quote, check the context, and file on time.

Questions

How accurate are the quotes?

About 98% on clear audio, and every line is timestamped so you can jump back to the audio and confirm the exact wording before publishing.

Does it label who is speaking?

Not yet. Today you get clean, timestamped text; per-speaker labeling is on the roadmap. For a two-person interview the back-and-forth is usually easy to follow.

How fast is it?

A one-hour interview transcribes in about a minute, and you can upload up to 50 recordings at once.

Is my source material private?

Yes. Transcripts are private to your account by default and are only shared if you create a link yourself.
