Every word, captured. In minutes.
Upload an interview, lecture, podcast or call and get back a clean text transcript from Whisper, run on our own machines. Open it in TranscriptAI to add speakers, timestamps and chapters.
Getting the most accurate transcript
Speech-to-text is only as good as the audio you feed it. A few things make a real difference: record close to the mic, keep background noise and music down, and try not to talk over each other: overlapping voices are the single hardest thing for any engine. Clear, separated speech in a major language transcribes cleanly; a noisy phone recording with three people interrupting will be rougher.
Speakers, timestamps and chapters, in TranscriptAI
The transcript you download here is plain text. Open it in TranscriptAI and it stops being a wall of text: diarization labels who said what, word-level timestamps let you jump straight to a moment, and automatic chapters break a long recording into navigable sections, which is what turns a two-hour meeting into something you can actually use.
Then do more than read it
Once it's text, TranscriptAI can summarize the whole thing, pull out action items and decisions, generate study notes or flashcards, and let you ask questions of the content, so the transcript becomes the input to the work, not the end of it.

Common questions
How accurate is it?+
We use Whisper's small model with voice activity detection: strong accuracy across accents, and clean handling of pauses and silence. Accuracy drops with background noise and overlapping speakers.
Can I transcribe in another language?+
Yes. Whisper detects the language automatically and handles 99 languages.
What about privacy?+
Uploads go to a private bucket, are transcribed on our own engine, and auto-delete after 1 hour. Files never go to an outside transcription service.
