Why transcribe to text?
Focus groups are messy on purpose: overlapping voices, moderators, side comments, and product reactions talked over laughter. A searchable transcript with speaker labels beats scrubbing a two-hour WAV. Upload the room recording, rename speakers, then code themes in a doc instead of re-listening.

This page turns focus group session recordings into editable text. Drop a WAV, MP3, M4A, or MP4 from the room recorder, review speaker-labeled segments, and export TXT or subtitles after signup. Built for qualitative researchers and UX teams who already have the file.
