How to Transcribe a Webinar

To transcribe a webinar, record it live with the LiteScribe desktop app or Chrome extension and watch the transcript build as people speak, or upload the recording afterwards. LiteScribe separates the host, panelists, and Q and A speakers, adds an AI summary, action items, and topic tags, and works in 100+ languages, ready to repurpose into follow-ups and content.

How it works

  1. 1

    Capture the webinar

    Record live with the LiteScribe desktop app or Chrome extension while you host or attend, and the transcript streams in with less than two seconds of latency. Or upload the MP4 recording afterwards.

  2. 2

    Separate every voice

    Speaker diarization distinguishes the host, panelists, and audience questions, so the back-and-forth of a webinar reads clearly. Rename speakers to real names for polished notes.

  3. 3

    Pull out the highlights

    Each transcript includes an AI summary, action items, and topic tags, so the key points, promises, and follow-ups from a long session are captured instantly.

  4. 4

    Repurpose the content

    Export to DOCX, PDF, PPTX, TXT, or SRT captions, or ask AI to turn the webinar into a blog post, a recap email, and social clips from one recording.

Doing this without uploading anything

The steps above use the LiteScribe cloud, which is the quickest way to get a transcript back. There is a second route for material you would rather not upload: once the recording is saved as a file, the desktop app supports transcription that keeps EU audio on your own device on your own CPU or GPU. It is a desktop feature for Windows, macOS and Linux, and it needs a one-time model download. See the desktop app's Local Mode for the setup.
