Who-said-what, automatically
Each speaker is detected and labelled — rename them once ('Interviewer', 'Respondent 3') and the whole transcript updates.
Two versions of every transcript
Verbatim keeps every 'um' and false start for rigorous analysis; clean-read polishes the text for quoting in your article or thesis.
Timestamps for citations
Every segment carries exact timestamps, so checking a quote against the recording takes seconds — and SRT export gives you subtitles for video.
Stop transcribing interviews by hand
An hour of interview audio takes four to six hours to transcribe manually. Researchers running ten interviews lose a working week to typing.
transcribez turns that hour of audio into a speaker-labelled transcript in minutes, in 99+ languages including Swahili — then lets you fix names and polish wording in a built-in editor before exporting to Word or PDF for your analysis workflow.

Frequently asked
How are speakers identified?
Automatically — each voice gets a label you can rename once, and the change applies across the whole transcript.
Can I use it for qualitative research coding?
Yes — export clean DOCX or TXT transcripts with timestamps and speaker labels, ready for NVivo, ATLAS.ti, or manual coding.
What about interviews in Swahili or mixed languages?
Both work — transcripts come back in the language spoken, with one-click translation to English or 99+ other languages.
