Silestis for journalists
Transcribe interviews and press conferences on deadline, then quote the exact moment with confidence.
From recording to quote, on deadline
Open a supported video and click Silestis — or upload an interview or paste a supported link to a press conference — and create a transcript with timestamps when the selected mode supports them. Search for the line you remember and jump back to the source before quoting it.
Cite with confidence
With a timestamp-capable mode, transcript segments are anchored to the source so you can verify a quote. Speaker labels are available in Speakers mode, and multilingual transcription and translation depend on the selected mode.
Fast, flexible, private
- Background processing, with time depending on source, duration, mode, and load.
- Export as TXT or SRT for publishing and captioning.
- EU-configured storage. Source media is deleted by default, and Silestis does not use your content to train its own models.

Journalists — FAQ
How fast can I get a transcript of an interview?
Recordings process in the background while you keep working. Completion time depends on source duration, media format, selected mode, and current service load.
Can I cite exact timestamps for quotes?
With a timestamp-capable mode, transcript segments include timing so you can verify and reference the relevant moment in the source.
Is my source material kept private?
Account data, transcripts, and retained playback media use EU-configured storage. AI processing may use vetted providers outside the EU under appropriate safeguards. Source media is deleted after transcription by default.
Start from the supported lecture page you already use.
Open the video and click Silestis to start a transcript, summary, and notes workflow on the page. Timestamp-capable modes can also return cited answers, including when no source transcript exists.
