Interview Transcript

If you're using Kapwing on a Free Account, then every export — including from the Interview Transcript tool — will include a small watermark. Once you upgrade to a Pro Account, the watermark will be removed from every video or audio interview you create a transcript for.

Many AI transcription tools accurately convert speech to text but struggle to capture the full context of spoken content. Kapwing’s automated interview transcription stands out by using trusted AI providers like Google, DeepL, and GPT to generate context-aware transcripts. Over time, Kapwing becomes even more accurate by learning from your past edits and transcription patterns.

Kapwing usually creates an interview transcription in less than a minute, though the time can vary from one to three minutes depending on the length of the original video or audio file.

Our Interview Transcript tool allows you to translate your transcript into over 100 languages, including Chinese, Spanish, Hindi, and French. You can translate text in a few clicks, making the localization process as simple as possible.

Writing a transcript of an interview traditionally involves a series of steps, including opening a word processor or text editor, finding a distraction-free environment, and listening to the interview in small chunks (15 to 30 seconds) at a time, pausing, and typing what you heard. This process is tedious and can take upwards of 10 hours depending on the length of the interview.

You can drastically cut down on transcription time and avoid the most painstaking parts of this process using Kapwing. Simply upload your video or audio file, open the "Transcript" tab in the left-hand toolbar, and select "Generate Transcript" to get an accurate interview transcript in moments.

Kapwing supports a large variety of popular video and audio formats, including MP4, MOV, WebM, MPEG, OGG, AVI, MP3, FLAC, and M4A. Note that video exports are always in MP4 and audio in MP3, as we feel these file types represents the best tradeoff between file size and quality.

Even the best marketers and journalists can get burned out by content creation. Here are three major reasons to repurpose an interview:

• Create More Content Faster: Quickly generate multiple text versions of an interview that fit various platforms without starting from scratch, helping keep a consistent content flow and reduce time investment.
• Reach New Audiences: Tailor interview content to different platforms to increase visibility and engage with new audiences across social channels, websites, and email lists.
• Avoid Burnout: Repurposing an interview helps reduce the pressure to endlessly produce new content by maximizing each interview's value, allowing you to maintain a consistent content cadence without burning out.
