How to transcribe live in 3 steps

Good for
Thinking out loud, drafting by voice, interview notes, lectures, and meetings where you do not want a bot in the room. You can also transcribe the audio of a browser tab — a video call or a video — on desktop Chrome or Edge.
Limits worth knowing
The free plan resets every week at 45 minutes. Transcrip transcribes live audio only; it does not accept uploaded files. For more time, Plus is $2.99/month for 400 minutes plus an encrypted cloud vault.
