# Transcription for Journalists

AI transcription built for journalists. Upload recordings and get speaker-labeled transcripts, summaries, subtitles, and repurposed content in minutes.

Transcribe interviews, press conferences, and field recordings with speaker labels, timestamps, and AI-generated article drafts, ready for your byline.

Journalism runs on recorded conversations, interviews, press conferences, background calls, and field recordings are the raw material of every story. Yet the industry's biggest productivity bottleneck remains turning those recordings into usable text. Most reporters either take imperfect notes or spend hours transcribing by hand, both of which introduce errors and slow down publication. Blazescribe gives journalists instant, accurate transcripts with every speaker identified and every word timestamped. Beyond raw transcription, AI-generated article drafts and quote extraction tools help reporters move from recording to published story faster than ever. For investigative reporters managing hundreds of hours of source material, full-text search across an entire transcript archive means no detail is ever lost.

## FAQ

### Can Blazescribe handle recordings in noisy environments?

Yes. Our AI is trained on real-world audio including field recordings, phone interviews, and press scrums. Accuracy drops slightly in very noisy conditions but remains above 90% for most environments.

### Is my source material kept confidential?

Absolutely. All files are encrypted in transit and at rest, and are never used to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI model. You can delete any recording or transcript at any time, which removes it from storage.

### Can I search across all my transcripts?

Yes. Blazescribe indexes every word across all your transcripts. Search for a name, topic, or phrase and instantly find every mention across your entire recording archive.

### Does it work with phone recordings and voice memos?

Yes. We support MP3, M4A, WAV, and all major formats including compressed voice memo formats from iOS and Android. Even lower-quality phone recordings produce usable transcripts.

### How fast can I get a transcript on deadline?

A 30-minute interview typically processes in under 90 seconds. For breaking news situations, that speed can be the difference between publishing first and missing the story.
