AuTrans for Newsrooms and Media Houses

Interviews, press conferences and phone recordings transcribed fast enough to make the deadline — including Pidgin and Nigerian-language interviews.

An editor or a news manager, buying against an editorial budget. The decision is usually fast, and it turns on whether it works on real newsroom audio.

What this looks like today

  • A one-hour interview takes three hours to transcribe, and the story is due before that
  • Press conference audio is noisy and multi-speaker, which defeats consumer transcription tools
  • Interviews in Pidgin or a Nigerian language get transcribed by whichever reporter speaks it, when they have time
  • Quotes have to be exact and attributed correctly, so nobody trusts a transcript they cannot check against the audio
  • International tools price in dollars per seat, which does not survive a Nigerian editorial budget

What changes

  • Interviews come back as text with speakers separated, so a quote can be attributed with confidence
  • Every line of the transcript is linked to its moment in the audio — click a quote, hear it said, before it runs
  • Pidgin and Nigerian-language interviews are transcribed directly rather than waiting on a colleague
  • Search across your whole transcript archive, so a quote from a source months ago is findable
  • AI summaries surface the key points of a long press conference while the reporter is still writing
  • A newsroom works off one pooled allowance instead of per-reporter seats

Procurement, data and contracts

  • Invoiced annually or quarterly, in Naira, without a per-seat licence to administer
  • Source audio is never used to train AI models — which is the answer your legal desk will want about confidential material
  • Transcripts can be deleted on request, including derived data, which matters for source protection
  • View-only sharing lets an editor read a transcript without occupying a seat
  • Allowances are set per account, so an election period or a big investigation doesn't require a plan change

Frequently asked questions

How fast is it on a one-hour interview?

Minutes, not hours — the exact time depends on the recording and on load at that moment. The practical change is that transcription stops being the thing that decides whether a story makes the deadline.

Can I trust a quote from the transcript?

Verify it before you run it, the same as you would with a transcript from anyone. Every line is linked to its position in the audio, so checking a quote takes a click rather than a scrub through the recording. The transcript is fully editable, and your correction is what gets saved.

Does it handle press conference audio with several speakers?

Speakers are separated automatically, and you can rename them once and have it apply throughout. Difficult room audio is exactly the case that defeats consumer tools, and it is one of the cases we built for.

Is our source material confidential?

Your audio is never used to train AI models, under any plan. Text corrections can be used to improve the product, but only where an account has explicitly opted in — and an institutional account can simply have it off. Transcripts are private to your account unless you share a view-only link. If you need deletion within a defined window for source protection, tell us the window and we will hold to it.
