INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTION
Make every recorded interview easier to search and use.
AudioTale turns MP3 and M4A interview recordings into speaker-labelled transcripts, concise summaries and structured takeaways for research, recruitment and journalism.
THE SHORT ANSWER
What is interview transcription?
Interview transcription converts a recorded conversation into written text. AudioTale also creates a concise overview and separates key points, decisions and actions, helping you move from listening back to analysing, quoting, comparing or following up.
Find the evidence without replaying the whole interview
A searchable transcript helps you return to a particular answer, phrase or section of the conversation. Speaker labels keep the exchange readable and make quotations easier to locate.
The summary and key points provide a faster route into the material, while the transcript remains the source to check before publishing a quotation or making an important decision.
Built for research, recruitment and journalism
Different interviews lead to different next steps. A user researcher may compare recurring themes, a recruiter may review evidence against agreed criteria, and a journalist may need to locate a precise quotation.
AudioTale keeps the output general enough to support these workflows without pretending that automated notes replace professional judgement, editorial checks or a formal research method.

Give names and specialist terms useful context
Before processing, add the correct spelling of names, organisations, products, acronyms or technical language in the optional context field. This helps the generated notes use the right language.
Audio quality still matters. Background noise, overlapping speakers, distant microphones and unfamiliar proper nouns can reduce accuracy, so review anything that will be quoted or relied upon.
Consent and confidentiality come first
You are responsible for having the right to record, upload and transcribe an interview. Explain the intended use where appropriate and follow the consent, ethics, confidentiality and retention requirements that apply to your work.
Recordings are sent over encrypted HTTPS connections and processed to create the result. AudioTale does not offer a permanent audio library, and the service is designed to avoid keeping recordings as a media archive.

You can add names, organisations, acronyms and specialist terms as summary context. Clear audio improves results, but proper nouns and important quotations should always be checked.
