Interview Transcription for Journalists
Record the conversation, not the notes. Verbato transcribes your interviews with speaker labels, timestamps, and click-to-listen verification — so you can quote with confidence.
Transcribe Your InterviewThe Journalist’s Dilemma
Every journalist knows the tension: take meticulous notes and miss the nuance of the conversation, or stay fully present and scramble to reconstruct quotes afterwards. Phone recordings help, but a 45-minute interview becomes hours of transcription work.
Misquoting a source can damage your reputation and theirs. You need a way to get exact quotes fast, and to verify them against the original audio.
Verbato solves both problems: upload your recording, get a speaker-labeled transcript in minutes, and click any sentence to hear exactly what was said. Quote accurately, write faster, and spend your time on the story — not on typing.
