How to transcribe
Upload your file
Attach an audio or video file using the + button in the input bar. Supported formats include MP3, WAV, MP4, MOV, and other common audio and video formats.
Transcribe a meeting recording.
Wait for processing
The AI processes the file and generates a text transcript. Longer files take more time.
What transcription includes
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Speaker diarization | The AI identifies different speakers and labels each segment (Speaker 1, Speaker 2, etc.). |
| Audio event tagging | Non-speech events like music, applause, laughter, and background noise are tagged in the transcript. |
| Audio and video support | Works with both audio files (MP3, WAV) and video files (MP4, MOV). |
When to use this
- Transcribing meeting recordings for written notes.
- Converting podcast episodes to text for blog posts or show notes.
- Creating subtitles or captions from video content.
- Extracting dialogue from video files for editing or analysis.
What you cannot do
- You cannot transcribe in real time. Upload a complete file.
- You cannot assign custom names to detected speakers. Speakers are labeled numerically (Speaker 1, Speaker 2).
- You cannot transcribe content in multiple languages within the same file. The AI processes one language at a time.
- You cannot edit the transcript within Runable. Copy the text and edit it in your preferred text editor.
