Overview

TranscribeThis converts uploaded audio or video, or a pasted YouTube, Zoom or podcast link, into an editable, punctuated transcript with automatic speaker labels and word-level timestamps, processing roughly one hour of audio in about two minutes across more than 30 file formats and 90-plus languages. Beyond the raw transcript, it generates AI summaries, action items, decisions and chapter breaks, and exports to plain text, DOCX, PDF, SRT and VTT subtitle formats, or directly to Notion, with integrations for Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Google Drive and Dropbox on paid plans. The company states its pricing runs at $0.06 a minute on its entry paid tier, around 20 times cheaper than Rev’s published $1.25-a-minute rate, and holds a 4.9-out-of-5 rating from verified reviews naming users including a journalist, a clinical therapist and a documentary filmmaker.

TranscribeThis is upload-first rather than live: audio is processed on the company’s servers after upload, so it is not built for transcribing speech in real time as it happens. The company’s own explanation is direct that exported SRT and VTT subtitle files are reviewable drafts, not publish-ready captions, and that names, timing and non-speech cues still need proofreading before anything goes live, an honest disclosure worth taking at face value rather than assuming AI output is caption-ready as-is.

Free is $0 forever, no card required, for 3 transcriptions a day, files up to 30 minutes, speaker detection and TXT export. Standard is $19.99 a month, cancel anytime, for unlimited transcriptions, files up to 10 hours, AI summaries and action items, and SRT, VTT, DOCX and PDF export. Premium is $29.99 a month, adding a shared team workspace, Zoom, Meet and Teams capture, API access, SSO and admin controls. Every plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee.
