A CleanScribe transcript of an octopus podcast — named speakers (Maria, James), polished paragraphs, search bar, and audio player.
The problem we keep hearing

“I have three hours of interview, a deadline tomorrow, and the sentence I need is somewhere in the middle.”

— Every working journalist, podcaster, and researcher we’ve spoken to.

What we built

Read it once, find what you need.

Most transcripts read like a flat wall of unattributed text. CleanScribe gives every speaker a name, separates their turns cleanly, and polishes the prose so a long conversation reads as a conversation.

Search for a phrase across the whole transcript. Every match is highlighted in context, with the speaker right there. Audio plays alongside the text whenever you want it.

How it works

Three steps, then the moment you needed.

01
Upload

Audio or video, up to eight hours and 50 gigabytes per file. Optional: title, recording date, and the names of the people speaking. Each one improves accuracy.

02
We transcribe and clean

Our engine transcribes in over a hundred languages, attributes every turn to the right speaker, and strips the umms, the false starts, and the repetitions so the result reads as prose.

03
Read & share

Read the polished transcript with named speakers. Search for a phrase — every match is highlighted in context. Download the clean text or keep the audio alongside.

What makes us different

Four choices we made on purpose.

i.

Every speaker keeps their name.

We work hard to get speaker attribution right: when people introduce themselves, hand the floor by name, or are listed in the upload form, those names land in the transcript and stay consistent through the whole recording. No more “Speaker 3 said something important on page 12”.

ii.

Speakers by name.

When somebody introduces themselves on the recording — “Hello, this is James” — we label their lines as James. Not Speaker 1. You can also pre-fill the names of the people you know are in the room. Five-person meetings stop being a guessing game.

iii.

Clean prose, not a recording in text.

Most transcripts preserve every “um”, every false start, every “I — I mean”, every repeated word. We strip the disfluencies and smooth the repetitions so the result reads as prose. The meaning stays. The noise goes. The audio is still there if you want to listen back.

iv.

Long-form as the default.

Single-shot files up to eight hours. Most consumer tools cap at two or three. Lectures, depositions, multi-hour podcasts, and full conference panels go through in a single pass — no splitting, no stitching, no missed seam.
