What users say

Pros

  • Transcripts are good enough to save hours, even with mixed languages.
  • Transcribes three 30-minute recordings daily without requiring payment details or an upfront subscription.
  • Browser-based with YouTube links and TXT/Word exports, no install needed.
  • Cuts a two-hour meeting-notes task to about fifteen minutes when paired with live transcription.

Cons

  • Names, fast speech and crosstalk can come out wrong; proofreading remains necessary.
  • The Unlimited plan enforces daily limits, while subscription renewals and disputed charges prove difficult to reverse.
  • Free files stop at 30 minutes, so long lectures or interviews must be cut up first.
  • Lacks live-capture responsiveness for transcribing speech in real time.
