From file to text in three steps

No setup, no learning curve. The product makes its own argument. You just watch it work.

01

Drop your file

Any audio or video, any common format. It's trimmed and prepped right in your browser, so nothing leaves your device until you transcribe.

02

Watch it transcribe

The first 5 minutes appear in seconds, with speakers, timestamps, and the audio playing in sync with the text. Fully usable and exportable.

03

Unlock the rest

Happy with what you see? Unlock the full transcript at one clear price shown up front. Pay once per file, or subscribe if you transcribe often. Refund if you're not happy.

No hype. Just the transcript.

See it before you pay

Every competitor makes you sign up before showing a single line. We do the opposite: read your real transcript first, decide after.

Honest about accuracy

95%+ on clear audio; it drops on noisy or overlapping speech, and we say so. You just watched it run on your own file, so there's no need to take our word for it.

Yours to edit and export

Fix a word, rename a speaker, hide filler, then export to TXT, DOCX, SRT or VTT. The transcript is yours to shape, not just read.

No. Drop a file and read the first 5 minutes straight away, no signup, no card. You only create an account at checkout, and only if you decide to unlock the full file.
We consistently hit 95%+ accuracy on clear audio. Background noise, heavy accents, or overlapping speakers can bring that down a little, and we'd rather tell you that upfront than promise perfection. If something's off, you can fix it directly in the transcript editor.
Pretty much any audio or video file: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC, MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI, and more. No conversion needed, just drop it in.
The first 5 minutes appear in seconds, so you can start reading right away. The rest keeps processing in the background, usually just a couple of minutes even for multi-hour recordings.
Yes. Every transcript can be exported as SRT or WebVTT subtitle files, ready to drop into a video editor or upload alongside your file. Plain TXT and DOCX exports are also available if you just need the text.
You choose: pay once for a single file, or subscribe if you transcribe often. Either way, the price is shown before you pay, no surprises. Preview the first 5 minutes for free, and only pay if you decide to unlock the rest.
Prices are shown in USD, EUR, or GBP based on your location. If you're in the EU, VAT is calculated and added at checkout in line with EU tax rules, so the total may include VAT once your country's rate is applied. Stripe handles this securely at payment time.
Yes. The built-in editor lets you correct any word, rename or reassign speakers, and hide filler words before you export. If a transcript looks consistently off, email us and we'll take a look.
