In short

For best video transcript generator, it is a file problem first: the recording has to be on the disk before anything else happens. The export keeps the time of every line. The free plan is $0, and the paid plan starts at $10 a month paid yearly.

How it works

Best video transcript generator: what to compare

  1. 1

    Take the file

    The recording of the meeting is on the disk of the computer, and the address of the page of the platform is not needed.

  2. 2

    Find a word in the text

    The text is a document and not a sound file, so a word, a quote or a decision is found in it again with the time of the line next to it.

  3. 3

    Keep the time of every line

    Every segment keeps the moment it was said, so the minutes are written from that text and the quote points at the line it came from.

  4. 4

    Give the speakers their names

    Every voice of the recording gets a name in the editor when the text comes back, and the export goes out again with the names in it.

The result

What comes back from the engine

  • TXT

    One segment per line, the way a person wrote it down. It is the format to paste into a ticket, a chat or a document.

  • TXT, CSV

    The start and the end time of every segment, and the speakers named separately when you ask for it.

  • SRT, VTT

    SRT and VTT with the time of every line, so the recording can carry its own subtitles.

  • Markdown, DOCX

    The transcript is edited through the API and exported as Markdown for a wiki, or as DOCX for a review.

The facts

What the service takes, and what it gives

Free plan

$0: 3 files a day, up to 30 minutes per file, no card

Pro plan

$10 a month when you pay yearly ($120 a year), or $20 a month

The case

What the recording does not give you

Say one word of a decision three weeks later and see whether you can find it in the text. Almost every question after a meeting is the same question with another name, and the file answers none of them. The text of the recording comes back with the time of every piece, and the minutes are written from it.

Tips

  • A headset microphone gives a cleaner text than the microphone of the room.

  • 99+ languages are read, so set the one your recording is in.

  • Do not guess the language of the recording: a wrong setting shows up in the names.

  • The text of the recording is a document, so a word in it can be found again.

  • Keep a copy of the recording after the upload, because the export is the part that matters.
