Overview

Yescribe is an AI transcription service that converts audio and video into text in 98 languages. It accepts long recordings, up to five hours per upload, and can generate AI summaries of the content, so you get both a full transcript and a short overview. It is designed for anyone who records meetings, lectures, interviews or podcasts and wants searchable text without typing it out.

How it works

Upload an audio or video file, or provide a link. Yescribe processes the recording, produces a transcript with timestamps and can identify different speakers. Once it is ready, you can read and edit the transcript, generate a summary and export the text or subtitles. The service highlights a high claimed accuracy rate; as with all transcription tools, real results depend on audio quality and speakers.

Use cases

Students can transcribe recorded lectures and get summaries for revision. Professionals can turn long meetings into notes and action points. Journalists and researchers can transcribe interviews in many languages. Podcasters and YouTubers can create transcripts and subtitles. Multilingual teams can handle recordings in languages they do not type quickly.

Long recordings

The five-hour upload limit is useful for full-day workshops, long podcasts, court-like hearings or conference sessions that some other tools would require splitting into pieces. Combined with summaries, it makes long content easier to review.

Pricing

Yescribe has a free plan for getting started, with limits on usage. Paid plans increase transcription time and features, and choosing annual billing saves 50 percent compared with monthly billing. See the pricing page for current plan details.

Things to consider

Accuracy figures published by transcription services are generally measured under good conditions. Noisy audio, strong accents and overlapping speakers reduce accuracy, so plan to proofread transcripts that will be quoted or published. AI summaries are helpful for orientation but can miss nuance, so check important details against the full transcript. Review the privacy policy before uploading confidential recordings.

Who it is for

Yescribe suits students, professionals, journalists and creators who need multilingual transcription of long recordings, together with quick AI summaries.
