PlainScribe

What is PlainScribe?

PlainScribe is a platform for transcribing, translating, and summarizing audio and video files. You can upload files up to 100MB, and the system handles all processing — you’ll receive an email notification when your files are done.

Key features:

• Transcription of audio and video files up to 100MB.
• Translation into English from over 50 languages.
• Summarization broken into 15-minute segments, so you can get the key points of a long recording without listening to everything.
• Downloads in CSV or SRT/VTT formats — the latter is useful for creating subtitles.
• Pay-As-You-Go pricing, where you pay only for the hours of audio or video you transcribe or translate.

For data privacy, files are automatically deleted after 7 days.

How to use PlainScribe?
