JR Transcribe: Your Free Transcription Software Has Landed 🚀🎙️

Six months ago we got frustrated with Otter.ai (Opens in a new window). The price was going up and it didn't feel like a good deal for journalists, who typically want to chuck in a load of audio files after the fact. No interviewee wants to see their words appear live in front of them, especially when it slightly mucks up their accent.

Our director Jack made an offhand comment that he could probably build something himself. So, we've held him to it — and are beyond delighted to be launching the beta version of JR Transcribe, now free for members.

This is the point we also need to say thank you to Response Source (Opens in a new window), for kindly sponsoring our development of this and making things possible. They also run a pretty nifty service to help you find interviewees and experts here (Opens in a new window).

To read this post you'll need to be a member! This means you'll get access to exclusive interviews, playlists, co-working, and much more.
