Transcribe an interview without listening to it three times
Upload the recording and get a document with questions and answers attributed to each voice. Verlio automatically tells interviewer and interviewee apart, fixes punctuation and the slips of spoken language, and hands you a text ready to quote in an article, a thesis or a report — no replaying the audio.
How it works — in 3 steps.
Upload the recording
Drag in the audio or video file of the interview, in any common format. If you recorded in several segments, upload them together: Verlio merges them into a single document in the order you choose.
The AI transcribes and separates the voices
The engine converts speech to text and attributes every line to the right person. You can attach your question list or a page of context: proper names and technical terms will be spelled correctly.
Download the finished text
Export to Word or PDF with speaker turns already labeled. If you need a summary, the Structured Document adds an overview, key points and the most quotable passages from the interview.
How much does interview transcription cost?
Verlio runs on credits, with no subscription: 1 credit covers 30 minutes of audio and packs start at €5. A 45-minute interview therefore uses 2 credits. Recordings under 10 minutes are free, and at signup you get 1 hour of free trial without entering a card.
For anyone who interviews for a living, the math is simple: transcribing one hour of speech by hand takes four to six hours of work, while a human transcription service charges per audio hour at rates that add up fast. With credits you pay only for the minutes you actually use, when you need them.
How accurate is automatic interview transcription?
With reasonably clean audio, the transcript stays faithful even with fast talkers, strong accents and brief crosstalk. Speaker recognition handles up to 8 and more voices, so it also works for joint interviews or panels with several guests.
AI cleanup kicks in after transcription: it removes the typical artifacts of spoken language, normalizes punctuation and, if you attached a context document, uses the correct terminology for acronyms, company names and the jargon of whatever field you discussed.
Interview in another language? No problem
Interviewed a source in Spanish but the piece runs in English? Verlio transcribes audio in any language and generates the document in the language you choose, from more than 35 available. You skip the two-step transcribe-then-translate routine with a single upload.
It works the other way too: an interview conducted in English can become a text in French or German for an international outlet, keeping speaker attribution and the question-and-answer structure fully intact.
Frequently asked questions.
How long does it take to transcribe a one-hour interview?
A few minutes of processing, versus the 4-6 hours of manual transcription. Upload the file, let the system work and download the finished document.
Does the text show who asks the questions and who answers?
Yes. Every speaker turn is attributed to an identified voice, and you can rename the labels with real names in seconds.
Can I transcribe an interview recorded on my phone?
Yes, files from the iPhone and Android voice recorder apps work perfectly. The closer the microphone is to the voices, the better the result.
Are my interview recordings safe?
Processing and storage happen on servers in the European Union, in compliance with the GDPR. You can delete files from your account whenever you want.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes: every file under 10 minutes is free, and at signup you get 1 hour of trial transcription, with no credit card and no subscription.
