From talk track to blog post and show notes
The script you spoke over your slides is already a first draft of an article. Transcribe the recording, then work through it slide by slide: each slide's talk track usually maps to one section of the blog post, and your verbal transitions become the connective sentences a summary of the deck alone would miss. Cut the housekeeping at the start, tighten the spoken repetition, and you have a post that says exactly what you said on the webinar.
The Q&A section is the most underused part of the recording. Attendees told you, in their own words, what confused or interested them. Pull each question from the transcript to build show notes, an FAQ block for the landing page, or the outline for your next webinar. Because every transcript includes timestamps, you can link each answer back to the exact moment in the replay.
Captions for clips and quotes for graphics
When you cut the webinar into short promo clips, export SRT or VTT instead of plain text. Both formats carry the timing information a video editor or social platform needs to display captions in sync with your speech, so viewers scrolling with the sound off still follow your pitch.
For quote graphics, export TXT and skim for the sentences where you stated a result, a number, or a strong opinion out loud. Speakers phrase things more memorably live than in a deck, and the transcript catches lines your slides never contained. Pro accounts add DOCX export when you want to hand a formatted transcript to a designer or content editor.
Getting the recording out of your webinar platform
FastScribe works with uploaded files, so first download the recording from wherever your platform stored it. Most webinar tools let the host save the session as an MP4 or audio file after it ends. Once you have the file on your computer, upload it here. Audio is deleted the moment your transcript is ready; only the text is kept so you can come back and export it again while you repurpose.
Frequently asked questions
Can FastScribe pull my webinar straight from Zoom or YouTube?
No. FastScribe only accepts files you upload. Download the recording from your webinar platform to your computer first, then upload that file here to transcribe it.
Will a full-length webinar fit in the free tier?
Usually not. The free first file is capped at ten minutes and fifty megabytes, so it suits a highlight clip. A free account raises that to thirty minutes and one hundred megabytes, and Pro at twelve dollars a month handles files up to two gigabytes and five hours, which covers a typical hour-long webinar with room to spare.
I run webinars every month. Do I have to upload them one at a time?
On Pro you get batch uploads and a priority queue, so you can drop a backlog of past webinar recordings in together. Pro also keeps your transcript history forever, which helps when you repurpose an old session months later.
What happens to the webinar recording after transcription?
The audio is deleted the moment your transcript is ready. The text is kept so you can revisit it, export TXT, SRT, or VTT again, and keep pulling quotes while you work through your content calendar.
