§ 01 · Where the difficulty is

Solid text isn't a result yet

A plain transcription gives you one solid block of text with no way to tell who said what. And in an interview, podcast or focus group that's exactly the real work: figuring out which line is the host's and which is the guest's, finding the right quote and citing the precise moment in the recording.

Done by hand, that means a whole evening of scrubbing the recording, dropping in markers and labeling who's speaking. Flowmark takes that part off your hands: the lines are already split between speakers, and the timestamps lead straight to the right spot in the recording.

§ 02 · Who it helps

When transcription is part of the job

Journalists and newsrooms

A recorded interview becomes text split by speaker — quotes at hand, no scrubbing through the recording.

Podcasters

A transcript of the episode for show notes, posts and clips — with timestamps on the guests' lines.

Researchers and analysts

In-depth interviews and focus groups: participants' lines are split out, easy to code and quote.

§ 03 · Step by step

From recording to text in a couple of minutes of work

Recognition runs in the background — all you do is send the file and choose the settings.

  1. Send the recording

    Forward the interview's audio or video to the bot in the chat — a voice note, a dictaphone recording, a call recording.

  2. Turn on speaker separation

    Tap 'Audio to text', turn on speaker separation (diarization) and timestamps, and choose paragraph output.

  3. Wait for the result

    Recognition runs in the background with live progress — you can close the chat and come back later.

  4. Proof and label the speakers

    Replace 'Speaker 1/2' with real names and fix any tricky spots — the foundation is already in place.

§ 04 · Accuracy and privacy

What happens to the recording and the text

The interview recording is only used while it's being processed and is deleted after the result is sent. In the main scenario recognition runs on the service side.

The bot recognizes long recordings in parts, and additionally checks the finished text for the typical repeats that models sometimes add over pauses — so less clutter makes it into the transcript.

§ 05 · Common questions

The essentials, in brief

Does the bot tell who's speaking?

With speaker separation on, the lines are split between speakers. The bot doesn't know names — speakers are labeled 'Speaker 1', 'Speaker 2', easy to replace with real names while proofing.

Can I find the moment of a quote in the recording?

Yes. Turn on timestamps — each fragment is tagged with its time, and the right spot is found in seconds.

Will it work for a long interview?

Yes, within your plan's limits. The bot recognizes long recordings in parts, and additionally checks the text for typical repeats.

How private is this?

The recording is only used while it's being processed and is deleted after the result is sent. In the main scenario recognition runs on the service side.

What format is the text in?

Your choice: plain text (TXT), a formatted DOCX or SRT subtitles. The layout can be re-formatted — paragraphs, timestamps — without re-recognizing.
