Uploading Audio

Recovered Scrolls

Already have a recording from another device? Upload it directly instead of recording live.

How to Upload (Single File)

  1. Go to the Recording tab (1)
  2. Click Upload Audio
  3. Select your audio file

Recording tab on a draft session showing the Start Recording, Upload Audio buttons, and Audio Parts section

TaleKeeper accepts common audio formats (m4a, mp3, wav, webm, ogg, flac) and automatically converts them for processing.

What Happens Next

After upload, TaleKeeper automatically:

  1. Prepares the audio for processing
  2. Converts speech to text
  3. Identifies speakers
  4. Suggests a session title

Replacing Audio

Uploading new audio to a session that already has a recording will replace the previous audio and clear the existing transcript and speaker assignments. Summaries and images are preserved.


Combining Multiple Recordings

Sessions are often captured in parts — a DM mic, a player mic, a phone backup, or a session split across two recording runs. Use the Audio Parts section (below the main controls on the Recording tab) to upload all parts, arrange them in the right order, and merge them into a single file before transcription begins.

How to Upload Multiple Parts

  1. Go to the Recording tab (1)
  2. In the Audio Parts section, click Add Parts
  3. Select one or more audio files — you can select multiple files at once
  4. Repeat to add more files if needed

Each file appears in the parts list showing its filename.

Arranging Parts

Use the and arrow buttons next to each part to set the playback order. The merged file will concatenate the parts from top to bottom.

To remove a part, click the button on that row.

Merging and Transcribing

Once all parts are in the correct order, click Merge & Transcribe. TaleKeeper will:

  1. Combine all parts into a single audio file in the order shown
  2. Run the full transcription and speaker identification pipeline

Progress is shown inline — first a "Merging audio parts..." indicator, then the transcription progress bar.

Tip

If you upload only one part, TaleKeeper skips the merge step and goes straight to transcription.

Parts are kept after merging

The individual part files remain in the list after merging. You can re-merge with a different order at any time, which will clear and redo the transcript.
