For journalists

Silestis for journalists

Transcribe interviews and press conferences on deadline, then quote the exact moment with confidence.

From recording to quote, on deadline

Upload an interview or paste a link to a press conference and get a timestamped transcript in about two minutes. Search for the line you remember, jump to the exact [mm:ss], and quote it accurately — no scrubbing through the recording under time pressure.

Cite with confidence

Every line is anchored to a timestamp, so you can verify a quote against the source and reference the precise moment. Speaker labels keep multi-person interviews and panels clear, and translation across 100+ languages helps with international stories.

Fast, flexible, private

  • Transcribe ~2 minutes per hour of audio.
  • Export as TXT or SRT for publishing and captioning.
  • EU-hosted, files deleted after transcription, never used to train AI.

FAQ

journalists — FAQ

How fast can I transcribe an interview?

Roughly two minutes per hour of audio with the fast model; longer recordings process in the background while you keep working.

Can I cite exact timestamps for quotes?

Yes. Every line carries a [mm:ss] timestamp, so you can verify and reference the precise moment a statement was made.

Is my source material kept private?

Audio is processed in the EU on Cloudflare, deleted after transcription, and never used to train AI models.

Every video you watch could be searchable.

Install the extension, hit transcribe, and never lose what was said in a lecture, meeting, or podcast again.
