Transcribe Interviews

Transcribe interviews with speakers labeled

Turn a recorded interview into an accurate, speaker-separated transcript you can quote, code, and search — privately, on Mac and Windows.

Interview audio is hard to work with

An interview is only useful once it's text. Researchers need clean transcripts to code qualitative data, journalists need accurate quotes with attribution, and hiring teams need a record of who said what. Doing it by hand means hours of pausing, rewinding, and typing — and transcription services charge per minute and ask you to upload sensitive recordings to their cloud.

Vowen transcribes the whole interview for you and separates the speakers, so you get a transcript where each person's words are attributed. Drop in a recording you already have, or capture the conversation live. Because it can run on-device, a confidential source or a candidate's interview never has to leave your machine.

Built for transcripts you'll actually quote from

Speaker labels

Vowen separates who's talking and labels each speaker. Rename them once — interviewer, participant, candidate — and the labels carry through the transcript.

Keep sources private

On-device transcription means a sensitive or off-the-record interview never gets uploaded. Your recordings stay on your computer.

Quote and code with confidence

A clean, timestamped, attributed transcript is easy to search, pull quotes from, or import into your qualitative coding workflow.

Export for analysis

Export to text, Markdown, or subtitles so the transcript drops straight into your notes, paper, or analysis tool.
