Transcription

The recording is only the beginning.

Turn audio or video into a readable transcript, then keep going: identify speakers, pull decisions, assign action items, find quotes, and ask questions of the conversation.

Use the tool

Upload the recording

Add the meeting, interview, lecture, voice note, podcast, or video you want turned into working text.

Use the original recording when possible. Common audio and video formats are accepted up to 300 MB.

Add known speaker names, the meeting purpose, or the output you care about most.

Your input stays in this browser through sign-in and expires after two hours. Bearly imports it into a private chat and starts the work automatically.

What it actually does

Useful before impressive.

A transcript is useful; a conversation you can work with is better. Bearly keeps the complete text alongside the recording, then lets you move between exact language and synthesis without another upload or copy-paste ritual.

Use it for meetings, research interviews, lectures, podcasts, voice notes, or video. Speaker names can be inferred from introductions and context, and uncertain attribution stays visibly uncertain rather than being promoted to fact.

Worked example

The shape of a good result.

Every result follows the material you provide. This example shows the level of specificity Bearly is aiming for.

Recording excerpt

00:18 — Maya: Let's move the research review to Thursday.
00:25 — Leon: I can circulate the revised brief by Tuesday afternoon.
00:31 — Maya: Good. We still need finance to confirm the sample budget.

Bearly's working transcript

Decision

Research review moves to Thursday.

Action

Leon will circulate the revised brief by Tuesday afternoon.

Open question

Finance has not yet confirmed the sample budget.

Next move

Draft the follow-up note, extract the discussion about sampling, or search the full transcript for every budget reference.

How it works

Three moves. One conversation.

  1. 01

    Upload the recording

    Add the original audio or video file to the applet.

  2. 02

    Get the transcript

    Bearly adds timestamps and speaker labels when the recording supports them.

  3. 03

    Use the conversation

    Summarize, search, quote, translate, or turn decisions into finished work.

Keep going

The result is not a dead end.

  • Write meeting notes that link every conclusion to the transcript.
  • Pull clean quotations for an article or research memo.
  • Compare themes across several interviews or recorded calls.

Worth knowing

No magic tricks.

  • Accuracy depends on recording quality, accents, overlap, and background noise.
  • Speaker labels should be reviewed when several voices sound similar.
  • Your recording stays device-local until Bearly imports it into your private workspace after sign-in.

Other ways in

More tools, same workspace.

Grammar checker

A grammar checker should know the difference between an error and a choice. Bearly flags what is wrong, explains why, and leaves the final call with you.

Open tool

ATS resume checker

Upload a resume, add the role you want, and get a transparent ATS-readiness review: parsing, evidence, language, gaps, and the edits most likely to matter.

Open tool

Markdown to PDF

Paste Markdown or upload a file. Bearly turns the structure you already wrote into a considered PDF—and can edit the argument before it edits the margins.
