- Choose the file you can hear. Select one audio or video file that your browser can play and that contains English speech.
- Review the interview transcript. Listen back when you need to check an interviewer’s question, an interviewee’s answer, a name, or a phrase that matters.

INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTION FAQ
Questions about using a saved interview recording.
Who can I interview with this page?
Use a recording you are allowed to process. The editable text is a draft for you to review against the original interview file.
Where does the interview recording come from?
Choose one saved audio or video file from your device. The file must be playable in your browser and contain English speech.
What does “interview transcribe” mean on this page?
It means turning English speech in your selected interview recording into editable text that you can review, copy, or download as a TXT file.
Can I make an interview transcript from an audio file?
Yes. Choose a browser-playable saved audio file with English speech, then review the resulting text against the recording.
Can I use the draft for qualitative interview research?
Use a saved recording only when you are permitted to process it. Before coding, quoting, anonymizing, or sharing text, listen back to passages that affect meaning or participant identifiers and apply the transcription rules for your study.
