TIMESTAMPING IN TRANSCRIPTION
Speaker labels and timestamps on every line
Word-level timestamps
Every segment in your transcript includes accurate timestamps — down to the second — so you can jump to exact moments, create clickable chapters, and sync captions to your video without guesswork.
Automatic speaker labels
Speaker diarization identifies each voice in your recording and labels them clearly. Multi-guest podcasts, interviews, and panel discussions stay organized and easy to read, quote, and edit.
Faster than manual services
Skip the 24–48 hour turnaround of human transcription services. A 60-minute episode is timestamped and speaker-labeled in under 5 minutes — at a fraction of the cost of per-minute human rates.
