Riverside's transcription service is up to 99% accurate. It uses advanced speech-recognition technology trained on multilingual data to recognize accents and dialects with near-human precision.

When you use the Riverside recorder, the platform captures high-quality, uncompressed audio, which further improves transcription accuracy.

You can download your transcripts in SRT and TXT formats. These are the two most widely used transcript file types.

  • TXT (Text file): A plain text file that works well for repurposing content into blog posts, show notes, summaries, newsletters, or articles.
  • SRT (SubRip Subtitle file): A timestamped file used for adding closed captions or subtitles to videos. Styling, such as fonts and colors, is applied separately in your video editor.

To download a specific format using the free transcription tool above:

  • Step 1: Upload your video and select your language and content type.
  • Step 2: Let the AI transcribe, and when downloading, select which format you want. If you’re downloading transcripts in Riverside’s platform:
  • Step 3: In the “Tracks” section, you’ll see the option to download a transcript.
  • Step 4: Click download, and choose between a text file or subtitles.

Riverside takes only a few minutes to transcribe a recording. Your transcripts will be ready shortly after your session ends, depending on the file length.

You can begin editing your video immediately while the transcript processes. Manual transcription, by comparison, can take hours.

Yes, Riverside allows you to edit transcripts directly inside the video editor. The transcript syncs with your recording, so text edits automatically update your video.

You can also use your transcript to:

  • Search for specific words or phrases.
  • Automatically generate captions.
  • Fix repeated words across the transcript using “Correct everywhere”.
  • Use the chat-based editor to extract quotes or repurpose your transcript into posts, articles, or emails.

Riverside’s speaker detection labels speakers based on separate audio tracks in your recording. Each participant recorded on a separate track is labeled separately in the transcript.

If multiple people use one microphone or you upload a file with a single mixed track, the transcript will not separate speakers. Speaker detection works best when each participant records on their own track.
