Video and audio transcription, checked word-by-word before it ships

An AI draft transcribes fast, but a real editor checks it against the source audio before it's marked ready - a clean read or a verbatim transcript, your choice, in Swahili, Kikuyu, or English.

No card required to try it. Pay only for what you process, when you're ready.

Built for real transcription work

Every transcript human-reviewed

An AI draft is fast, but a real editor checks it against the source audio word by word before it's marked ready - not just auto-generated and shipped.

Real per-word timestamps, not estimated

Every word in your transcript carries its actual timing from the source audio, not a guess spread evenly across a sentence - useful for a searchable archive, a deposition record, or cueing up an exact moment in a long recording.

Kikuyu goes through real human transcription

No automated speech-recognition model supports Kikuyu yet - orders in Kikuyu go straight to a real human transcriber, not a lower-quality automated guess.

Clean read or verbatim, your choice

A clean read strips filler words and false starts for readability; verbatim keeps every false start and filler word for a legal or research record - pick what your actual use case needs.

Transparent per-minute pricing

Pay for what you process - no bundled credits. Your first few minutes are free to test the accuracy yourself, no card required.

Questions you probably have

Clean read or verbatim - which do I need?

Clean read is fully cleaned-up, readable text - the default for subtitles and most business use. Verbatim keeps every false start, filler word and stutter exactly as spoken, which is what a legal or research record typically needs instead. You choose per order.

Do you provide timestamps?

Yes - every word carries its real timing from the source audio, not a guess spread evenly across a sentence.

How is Kikuyu transcription handled?

A real human transcriber types the source by ear, since no speech-recognition model supports Kikuyu yet - it costs a bit more per minute to cover that real labor.

What format is the transcript delivered in?

A plain transcript, or SRT/VTT subtitle files if you need captions too - whichever your order actually asked for.
