- 3
Get your transcript
Read it with speaker names and timestamps, edit names with a tap, and download it as TXT, SRT, VTT, CSV or JSON.
Nigerian languages first
Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa go through speech models built for those languages (in Beta). If a transcript isn't right, redo it free or get your credits back.
Who said what
Every line is labelled by speaker at no extra cost, so interviews, calls and lectures read like a script.
Subtitles and exports
Export SRT or VTT subtitles for video, or plain text and CSV for notes and research.
Long recordings
Hour-long recordings are fine. They process in the background and the app tells you when the transcript is ready.
Free Browser mode
On the website, Browser mode transcribes entirely on your own computer, free and without uploading the audio.
Private by default
Audio is only kept while it is being transcribed. Your transcripts stay in your account until you delete them.
