Transcribe interviews without uploading them

Quiet Scribe transcribes interviews on your iPhone, iPad or Mac, separates the speakers and pulls out key quotes and a timeline. The audio stays on your devices, which matters when interviewees share sensitive information.

Who it's for

Researchers, journalists, recruiters and UX teams who record conversations and need an accurate record to quote from.

How to transcribe an interview

  1. Record

    Record in person on iPhone or iPad, or on Mac for a video interview with both sides captured.

  2. Mark the highlights

    Use markers for strong answers or follow-up questions while you listen.

  3. Name the speakers

    After transcription, rename Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 once and the names apply to the whole interview.

  4. Quote and export

    Review key quotes, jump to each moment in the audio and export the transcript as PDF or text.
