Frequently asked questions

How do I automatically transcribe an interview?
Drop the recording into Scrieb → AI transcribes locally with automatic speaker recognition → export as TXT/DOCX/PDF.
How accurate is interview speaker recognition?
Speaker recognition works reliably with 2–8 speakers on clear recordings. Accuracy depends on audio quality and speaker overlap.
Can I use a cloud service to transcribe interviews?
You can, but for confidential interviews (legal, medical, journalistic), uploading audio to a cloud service may violate GDPR, attorney-client privilege, or IRB requirements. Scrieb processes locally.
Is there a limit to interview length?
No. Scrieb processes multi-hour interviews without interruption or extra cost — ideal for long qualitative research sessions.
What formats work for interview recordings?
MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, and video formats including MP4 and MOV. No pre-conversion needed.
