Speecho's answer
Speecho is built and run by a solo indie founder. It started from a simple frustration: needing a couple of recordings transcribed and finding only subscription tools priced for daily use. So Speecho went the other way โ top up once, use it when you need it, credits never expire. Launched in 2026, it grew from plain transcription into summaries, chat with recordings, video captions and real-time live subtitles.
Speecho's answer
Pricing model, mostly: there is no subscription. You top up from $5, pay $0.83โ$1.25 per hour of audio, and credits never expire โ so occasional use costs nothing between projects. Speecho also extracts the audio track from video right in your browser (long videos upload fast), and it is private by default: files are processed for transcription only and never stored, transcripts auto-delete after 30 days.
Speecho's answer
Most transcription tools are subscriptions with monthly minute quotas โ great for daily users, wasteful for everyone else. If you transcribe a few interviews, lectures or meetings a month, pay-as-you-go credits are simply cheaper: no monthly fee, no expiring minutes. And it is one tool for the whole pipeline: transcripts with speaker labels and timestamps, AI summaries, chat with your recordings, auto-chapters, styled video captions and real-time live subtitles with translation.
Speecho's answer
People with occasional recordings who do not want another subscription: journalists transcribing interviews, researchers doing qualitative studies, podcasters and YouTubers making show notes and captions, students with lecture recordings, and teams that need an odd meeting or sales call written down.
Speecho's answer
A TypeScript stack: React web app, Node.js backend and an Astro landing site. Transcription runs on state-of-the-art AI speech models (OpenAI, Groq, Replicate), with Soniox powering real-time live subtitles. Audio extraction from video happens client-side in the browser.

Happyscribe.com is quite nice for that, with automated voice recognition and a WYSIWYG interface for subtitling (though I've never used it with Russian). Source: over 3 years ago
I have just found happyscribe.com. I am trying it and it translated quite good. I have to change perhaps 10% of the words. Source: over 3 years ago
This is more of a question than an answer, but has anyone used an online audio transcription site to create an English transcription directly from a Spanish language audio podcast MP3 file? I was just looking into this this morning, and seems like there are some services out there that will do this, either for free for small files (10 min) or at what seems like a reasonable price. I was looking at veed.io,... Source: about 4 years ago
