• Language — Set the spoken language, or leave on Automatic to let Klang detect it

For most recordings, the default settings work well.

What happens during processing

After you upload, Klang processes your file automatically in several steps:

1. Conversion — Your file is converted into a unified format for playback and transcription
2. Transcription — Speech is transcribed with automatic speaker identification
3. Post-processing — Spell checking and text formatting are applied
4. Analysis — A summary of the recording is generated

You can close the browser while processing runs. Klang sends you a notification when your transcript is ready.

Read your transcript

Open the finished file from your folder. The transcript view shows each segment of speech with:

• Speaker labels — Each speaker is identified and shown with a colored dot and name
• Timestamps — Every segment shows when it was spoken, so you can jump to that point in the recording
• Audio/video player — Play back the original recording and follow along in the transcript

Click a timestamp to jump to that point in the audio player. The information panel on the side shows a summary of the recording, the list of speakers, and file details like duration and language.

Edit the transcript

1. In the top-right corner of the transcript, click Edit

The header turns dark to indicate you are in edit mode.

2. Click on any text in the transcript to correct words or fix spelling
3. To rename a speaker, click a speaker label above a segment and either select an existing speaker or type a new name
4. When you are done, click Exit editing

Your changes are saved automatically as you type.
