Transcribe interviews to text
Upload an interview recording and get an accurate, speaker-labeled transcript in minutes — ready to quote, code, or archive.
Whether you're a researcher coding qualitative data, a journalist working to a deadline, or a student with a semester of fieldwork on your phone, transcribing interviews by hand takes four to six hours per hour of audio. Axilero does it in minutes, using Whisper Large-v3 — the most accurate openly available speech model — on every job, not just paid ones.
Interviews are also personal data. Your recordings are processed only on EU servers and deleted automatically the moment transcription finishes — never archived, never used to train AI models. Only the text remains in your account, and you can delete it anytime.
Upload your recording
MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4 and most other formats work directly — including video. No conversion needed.
Transcription runs automatically
The language is detected automatically (95+ supported), and speakers are identified and labeled. A one-hour interview typically takes a few minutes.
Edit and export
Fix names or technical terms in the browser editor, then export to Word, plain text, or JSON with timestamps.
Audio deleted automatically the moment transcription finishes
Processed exclusively on EU-located servers
Never used to train AI models, never shared
Speaker labels separate interviewer and participant
Every transcript can include automatic speaker identification. Questions and answers are attributed to Speaker 1, Speaker 2, and so on — so a two-person interview reads as a dialogue, not a wall of text. For panel interviews and focus groups, each voice gets its own label.
Built for real-world recordings
Interviews rarely sound like studio audio. Whisper Large-v3 handles accents, spontaneous speech, false starts and domain jargon far better than lightweight models — that's why we run the full model for every user. Expect 95–98% accuracy on clear audio; the browser editor makes the remaining corrections quick.
Recordings in 95+ languages are supported with automatic language detection, and transcripts can be translated between 20+ major languages — useful for multilingual research projects.
Confidentiality your participants can rely on
Research ethics boards and editorial policies increasingly ask where recordings go. With Axilero the answer is simple: audio is processed on EU-located GPU servers, deleted automatically when the job completes, and never used for AI training or shared with anyone. That maps directly to GDPR's data-minimization principle — the recording exists in our systems only for the minutes it takes to transcribe it.
From transcript to citable text
Export to DOCX for annotating in Word, plain text or Markdown for analysis software, or JSON with per-segment timestamps if you need to jump back to the exact moment a quote was said. Timestamps survive editing, so verification against the original audio stays easy.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to transcribe a one-hour interview?+
Typically a few minutes. Transcription runs on GPU servers at many times real-time speed; you can leave the page and come back — the job keeps running.
Can it tell the interviewer and interviewee apart?+
Yes. Enable speaker labels and each voice is identified automatically and labeled Speaker 1, Speaker 2, etc. This works for focus groups with several participants too.
How accurate is it with accents or noisy recordings?+
We use Whisper Large-v3 on every job, which is notably robust to accents and imperfect audio. Clear recordings reach 95–98% accuracy; heavy background noise or overlapping speech lowers that, and the built-in editor makes corrections fast.
Is my interview confidential?+
Audio is processed only on EU servers and deleted automatically when transcription finishes. We never train models on your data and never share it. Only the transcript text stays in your account, and you can delete it anytime.
What does it cost?+
The free tier includes 3 transcriptions per day (up to 30 minutes each) with no credit card. Pro is $15/month for unlimited transcriptions of any length, AI summaries and API access.
