Batch Transcription
ClapClip's batch mode transcribes an entire folder of recordings in one run. Queue a semester of lectures, a season of podcast episodes, or a project's worth of interviews — each file gets its own transcript, with no per-file cost or setup.
- Transcribe whole folders in one queue
- Mix video and audio formats freely
- Unattended processing for large jobs
- Zero per-file or per-minute cost
Windows 10 & 11
Queue once, walk away
Point ClapClip at a folder and it works through every file in sequence, writing a transcript for each. Long queues run unattended — start a big batch in the evening and collect the transcripts in the morning.
Mixed formats in one batch
The queue can mix MP4 videos, MP3 podcasts, and WAV interviews. ClapClip detects each file's type and handles video audio extraction automatically, so you don't sort files before starting.
The economics only work locally
At cloud per-minute rates, transcribing 50 hours of archive audio costs hundreds of dollars. Locally it costs electricity. Batch transcription is where offline processing pays for itself most obviously.
FAQ
How many files can I batch?
There is no artificial limit — batch size is bounded only by disk space and time.
Can videos and audio files share a batch?
Yes. File types are detected automatically and each is processed appropriately.
Does each file get its own transcript?
Yes. Every input file produces its own transcript output, named to match.
Can I pause a long batch and resume later?
Yes. You can stop a running queue and resume it without losing completed transcripts, which keeps overnight jobs flexible.
