Frequently Asked Questions

How do I transcribe an interview with Vook.ai?

Interview transcription with Vook.ai takes three steps. Upload your audio or video file (MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4…) from your computer or phone. The AI transcribes automatically, labels each speaker and adds timestamps. You get an editable text you can correct, export as DOCX for Word, or paste straight into your CMS. For a one-hour interview, expect a few minutes of processing.

Does Vook.ai identify different speakers in an interview?

Yes. For every interview transcription, Vook.ai automatically identifies who's speaking and assigns each line to the right person, with precise timestamps. This is especially useful for two-person interviews or panel discussions: you get a structured text ready to quote in your article, without having to jump back to the original recording to figure out who said what.

Is the interview transcription accurate enough for journalism?

Vook.ai reaches 99% accuracy on interviews recorded in good conditions (close mic, minimal background noise) and guarantees at least 90% on all transcriptions, including difficult conditions (field recordings, phone calls, noise). For journalistic work, this accuracy lets you quote directly without verifying every word. You save several hours per interview compared to manual transcription, and the final proofread stays fast.

Can I transcribe long interviews or several in a row?

Yes. Vook.ai supports long audio and video files, with no duration limit on the Unlimited and Business plans. You can transcribe a 2-hour interview or process a whole day's worth of field recordings in sequence. Files are processed in parallel, which is useful when you come back from a reporting trip with several interviews waiting.

How do I export my interview transcription for my article?

You can export your transcription in several formats depending on your workflow: DOCX for Word or Google Docs, PDF for archiving, SRT for video subtitles, HTML or Markdown for web publishing. The export preserves speaker names and timestamps if you want them. To write your article, just copy the relevant passages: the quotes are already ready to integrate.

Can I try Vook.ai for free on an interview?

Yes. When you create your account, you get a short transcription for free every day, no credit card required. Enough to test the quality on a real interview before subscribing. For journalists working with interviews regularly, the Pro plan starts at $13/month and covers 10h of transcription, while the Unlimited plan removes all caps for high-volume reporters. For occasional use or a gradual start, a 10-hour Pass for $30 is available alongside the subscription plans, those hours never expire.
