Talk Show Segment Transcript & Clip Tool

Transcribe radio and TV talk show segments into text with speaker labels, timestamps, and pulled quotes for articles and clips.

A talk show segment moves fast: host, co-host, and a guest or two all talking, interrupting, laughing, sometimes three conversations happening in the same ten seconds. When you need that turned into an article, a quote for a news write-up, or a clip caption for social, doing it by ear means constantly rewinding to catch who said what. Upload the segment's audio or video to Autrans and it separates each speaker, transcribes the full exchange with timestamps, and pulls out the AI-flagged key quotes and topics so you can see at a glance what the segment was actually about. Nigerian talk shows move between English and Pidgin constantly, often within the same sentence, and that's captured as spoken rather than cleaned into formal English that loses the show's actual voice.

Benefits

  • Speaker labels untangle who said what across a fast, overlapping panel discussion
  • AI-flagged key quotes make it quick to find the soundbite worth clipping for social
  • Word-level timestamps line up text to the exact moment in the recording
  • Captures English-Pidgin code-switching as actually spoken, not smoothed into formal English
  • Export SRT/VTT for clip captions or DOCX for a written segment recap
  • Chat with the transcript to pull every mention of a specific topic across a long episode

Frequently asked questions

Can it tell apart a host, co-host, and multiple guests talking over each other?

Autrans labels each speaker separately, which helps untangle a panel conversation, though very fast crosstalk with several people speaking at once is naturally harder to separate cleanly than a calm back-and-forth.

Can I turn a segment into subtitle files for a clip?

Yes, export as SRT or VTT with timestamps already aligned to the audio, ready to caption a social media clip.

Does it work for shows that mix English and Pidgin in the same conversation?

Yes, Autrans supports Nigerian English and Pidgin together, so code-switching mid-sentence is transcribed the way it was actually said.

Can I find every time a guest mentioned a specific topic in a long segment?

Yes, use the chat-with-transcript feature to ask about a specific topic and it will surface the relevant moments from that segment.
