Transkriptor converts audio files, video files and live Zoom, Teams and Google Meet calls into searchable, editable text across 100+ languages, with speaker separation, timestamps and subtitle export.
Transkriptor transcribes uploaded audio and video alongside live Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet calls across more than 100 languages, with speaker separation, timestamps and export to DOCX, TXT, SRT and PDF. It holds a strong rating across roughly 1,800 Trustpilot reviews, where speed and language breadth are the most consistent praise — reviewers repeatedly describe multi-day transcription work compressed into minutes. The most consistent criticism across Capterra, GetApp and Software Advice concerns the editor: timestamp, punctuation and word-accuracy issues require manual correction passes, particularly on overlapping speakers, noisy recordings and strong regional accents. Pricing is subscription-based with fixed monthly hour caps that do not roll over, which suits steady volume and penalises variable volume — a 50-hour month and a 3-hour month cost the same. Plans run from $9.99/month (Lite, 5 hours) through $19.99/month (Pro, 40 hours, or $8.33/month billed annually) to $30/user/month for Team. Several reviewers outside North America and Western Europe describe pricing as high relative to local purchasing power. Covering both file uploads and live meeting capture in one subscription is its clearest structural advantage over competitors that do only one well.
Rating: 4.3/5 · Pricing: Free trial + from $9.99/month
Transkriptor has a free tier, but it is a limited trial rather than a permanently usable plan — you get a restricted number of transcription minutes plus the web editor and basic export. It is enough to test accuracy on your own audio before paying. Paid plans start at $9.99/month for Lite with 5 hours of transcription per month.
Accuracy depends heavily on the recording. Clear single-speaker English audio is the best case and reviewers rate it highly there. Accuracy drops on overlapping speakers, background noise and strong regional accents, where manual correction is needed. Domain vocabulary support for medical, legal and IT terminology narrows the gap on technical recordings with clean audio. For less widely spoken languages, test a sample before committing.
Transkriptor supports 100+ languages for transcription, with translation on paid tiers. That breadth is its clearest advantage over English-first competitors, though quality is not uniform — major languages perform best, so run a sample in your target language before subscribing.
Yes. Transkriptor joins and records meetings on Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, then transcribes them alongside uploaded audio and video files. Covering both live meetings and an existing file backlog in one subscription is what separates it from upload-only transcription tools.
It depends on how consistent your volume is. Transkriptor charges a fixed subscription with an hour cap, so a heavy month and a light month cost the same and unused hours do not roll over. At full usage the Pro tier works out around $0.50 per hour on annual billing, which is good value for steady volume. If your volume swings widely, pay-per-hour usually costs less.
