Can I transcribe an earnings call from a public link?

Yes. Paste a public link to the call or interview and JotVox returns timestamped text. If the recording already has captions you can pull them free; otherwise AI transcription costs one credit.

How do I handle a call longer than 90 minutes?

JotVox caps recordings at 90 minutes, so split a longer call into segments and transcribe each. Keep the timestamps so you can align the segments in your notes.

Is the transcript accurate enough for a published note?

Accuracy is around 98% on clear audio but drops with poor line quality, crosstalk, or accents. Always verify exact figures and direct quotes against the audio before using them in a note or model.

Why Financial Analysts Use Video Transcripts (Earnings Calls)

Earnings calls, investor days, and management interviews carry details that move models, but they arrive as audio and video. A transcript turns those calls into searchable text, letting analysts find guidance, quote management precisely, and compare statements across quarters. This guide covers how transcripts fit a research workflow and how to produce one.

Why analysts need the text

Listening to a full call in real time is slow, and important numbers are easy to miss. A searchable transcript lets you jump straight to the guidance range, the segment commentary, or a specific analyst question. Timestamped lines mean you can return to the audio to check tone on a sensitive answer.

Guidance tracking: search for revenue, margin, or capex language.
Accurate quotes: attribute statements to the CEO or CFO word for word.
Quarter comparisons: keep a text archive to spot changes in wording.

A research workflow, step by step

The path is consistent: capture the call, transcribe it, search the text, and pull what feeds your notes or model. Tools like JotVox take a public link or an uploaded recording and return timestamped, exportable text.

Paste the public link to the call or interview, or upload the recording.
Use existing captions for free, or run AI transcription when there are none.
Export as TXT for your notes, and search for the metrics you track.
Optionally generate an AI summary to get a fast overview before a deep read.

Try it: paste a video link into JotVox — grabbing existing captions is free, and new accounts get 3 free credits plus one free AI transcription a day.

Summaries for long calls

Some calls run over an hour. An optional AI summary in the source language gives you the gist before you commit to a full read, which helps when several companies report on the same morning. Our guide on what goes into an AI summary explains what it does and does not capture.

Covering global companies

Coverage often spans markets and languages. JotVox auto-detects and transcribes in the original language across 99 languages, so a call held in Japanese or German stays in that language for accurate quoting. See transcribing a video in any language for details.

Accuracy and compliance-minded limits

Accuracy is around 98% on clear audio but falls with poor line quality, crosstalk, or heavy accents. For anything that feeds a published note or a model input, verify the exact figure and quote against the audio. JotVox works only with public links or uploaded files, caps recordings at 90 minutes so longer calls may need splitting, and does not store files after processing. Treat the transcript as a fast, reliable research aid, not the official record of a call.
