AudioScribe

AudioScribe is an AI-powered tool designed to transcribe and summarize audio and video content, with particular emphasis on long-form recordings such as interviews, sales calls, meetings, and lectures. It supports transcription in over 45 languages and is tailored for freelance writers, journalists, sales professionals, insurance agents, and students who require more than basic transcription—offering actionable insights and structured outputs from lengthy audio files.

Users can upload audio or video files in formats such as MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, FLAC, MP4, and MOV, or simply paste a YouTube URL to generate transcripts and summaries. The platform processes most files in under five minutes and can handle uploads up to 2GB per file, with specific file size and format allowances varying by plan. AudioScribe employs AI models (including Deepgram for transcription and Deepseek for summarization) to deliver accurate transcriptions, even in the presence of background noise or multiple speakers, and does not rely on pre-existing subtitles. Speaker diarization is supported, enabling the tool to automatically label different voices in transcripts, which is especially useful for interviews and podcasts.

The service offers a range of specialized templates to suit different workflows: a general template for broad use, an interview template that highlights quotable moments and generates fact-check lists and article outlines, a sales call template that extracts client needs and next steps, and a meeting notes template for structured summaries and action items. Summaries include key takeaways and checklists, and transcripts can be exported in formats such as TXT, DOCX, and PDF. Integrations with Notion and Zapier are available for syncing content.

AudioScribe is accessible via the web and provides a free trial that allows the transcription of two YouTube videos (up to 60 minutes each) and three AI summaries. The Pro plan extends usage to 1,200 minutes per month, supports additional file types and sizes, unlocks all templates, and permits commercial use of content. The platform emphasizes privacy and does not require a credit card for the free trial.
