Overview

Transcript LOL is an AI transcription service for audio and video. It offers unlimited transcription on its paid plans, using OpenAI's Whisper speech recognition model, with speaker recognition, custom vocabularies and support for files up to 10 hours long. It emphasizes privacy and says it powers transcript workflows for more than 100,000 professionals, from research universities to media companies.

How it works

Import audio or video from a direct upload, Google Drive, Dropbox, a URL, Zoom or other sources.

Custom vocabulary

Speech recognition often struggles with names, brands and technical terms. Adding these to a custom vocabulary helps Transcript LOL recognize them correctly, reducing editing time for specialized content such as research, medicine or engineering.

Pricing

There is a Free plan to get started with basic transcription, no credit card required. Paid plans provide unlimited transcription and more features, with no contracts and the option to cancel anytime; yearly billing saves 50 percent. A satisfaction guarantee is offered. See the pricing page for current details.

Accuracy

The site advertises a very high accuracy figure. Whisper is a strong model, but real-world accuracy depends on audio quality, accents, crosstalk and background noise, so proofread transcripts that will be quoted or published.

Who it is for

Because files up to 10 hours are supported, long recordings such as full-day workshops or multi-hour interviews can be processed in one piece instead of being split.

Transcript LOL suits researchers, journalists, podcasters and businesses who transcribe regularly and want unlimited, private, Whisper-based transcription with speaker labels and long-file support.
