AI-powered transcription service that converts speech to text in real time, with speaker identification, searchable transcripts, and meeting summaries.

Why it is useful

Transcribes meetings, interviews, and lectures accurately enough to replace manual note-taking in most situations, and the real-time transcription is useful for accessibility. The free tier includes 300 minutes of transcription per month — more than enough for occasional use. Speaker labeling and keyword search make it practical for reviewing long recordings without listening back.
