“I have three hours of interview, a deadline tomorrow, and the sentence I need is somewhere in the middle.”
— Every working journalist, podcaster, and researcher we’ve spoken to.
Find the moment, not the file.
Most transcripts read like a copy of the recording. CleanScribe gives every paragraph a timestamp anchored by speech recognition — not guessed by a language model.
Click any sentence in the transcript. The audio jumps to the exact second it was spoken. Search for a phrase. Every match is highlighted, every match is one click from playback.
Three steps, then the moment you needed.
Upload
Audio or video, up to eight hours and two gigabytes per file. Optional: title, recording date, and the names of the people speaking. Each one improves accuracy.
We transcribe and clean
Our engine transcribes the audio with speaker labels in over a hundred languages, then strips the umms, the false starts, and the repetitions so the result reads as prose. Every paragraph still anchors to the exact second of the original audio.
Read & navigate
Click any timestamp — the player moves to that exact second. Search the text, highlight matches, download as plain text with the metadata header intact.
Four choices we made on purpose.
Timestamps to the second.
Most services derive timestamps from the language model that produced the transcript — those drift by five to thirty seconds. We anchor every paragraph against the original audio with second-level speech recognition, so click-to-seek lands on the moment the words were spoken. You can quote it.
Speakers by name.
When somebody introduces themselves on the recording — “Hello, this is James” — we label their lines as James. Not Speaker 1. You can also pre-fill the names of the people you know are in the room. Five-person meetings stop being a guessing game.
Clean prose, not a recording in text.
Most transcripts preserve every “um”, every false start, every “I — I mean”, every repeated word. We strip the disfluencies and smooth the repetitions so the result reads as prose. The meaning stays. The noise goes. The audio is still there if you want to listen back.
Long-form as the default.
Single-shot files up to eight hours. Most consumer tools cap at two or three. Lectures, depositions, multi-hour podcasts, and full conference panels go through in a single pass — no splitting, no stitching, no missed seam.
People who work with hours, not minutes.
If you’ve ever scrubbed through audio looking for a single quote, re-watched a Zoom recording for the third time to confirm a date, or paid for a tool that only handles English — we built this for you.
