Interview Transcription

Turn audio interviews into clean, searchable transcripts with timestamps and pull quotes.

What it is

This skill helps you process recorded interviews into organized, time-coded transcripts ready for publication. It extracts usable quotes with timestamps, manages speaker labels, and keeps track of your sources and their interviews. Perfect for anyone conducting interviews—journalists, researchers, podcasters, or content creators who need accurate records of conversations.

What it does

  • Transcribes audio/video interviews into text with precise timestamps
  • Extracts and organizes quotable moments with context and verification tracking
  • Creates speaker-labeled transcripts with proper formatting
  • Manages source databases with interview history and relationship notes
  • Generates pre-interview prep checklists and research briefs

Use it when

  • You need to turn a recorded interview into a searchable, timestamped document
  • You're pulling quotes from multiple interviews and need to track which source said what
  • You're managing relationships with multiple sources and want organized notes
  • You need to verify quotes against original recordings before publication
