What it is

Transcript.so converts uploaded audio and video into searchable text. It detects languages automatically, labels speakers, lets users click a sentence to replay that moment, and exports transcripts as TXT, DOCX, PDF, CSV, SRT, or VTT. The service supports more than 90 languages and accepts formats including MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG, OPUS, WMA, AIFF, MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV, MPEG, and AVI. Users can search saved transcripts for topics. The maker says Whisper handles most files and another diarization engine is selected for multi-speaker or long recordings. The free plan allows three transcriptions daily, with files up to 30 minutes or 50MB. Unlimited costs $10.00 per month billed yearly ($120). Accuracy may drop with names, jargon, crosstalk, strong accents, or noise. Files remain until deleted and are encrypted, private, and not used to train models.
