WhipScribe Transcriber — Audio & Video to Text
Pricing
Pay per usage
Turn podcast episodes, YouTube videos and audio or video file links into accurate transcripts with timestamps, SRT and VTT subtitles, in 99+ languages. Uses your WhipScribe API key.
Public links to transcribe: YouTube videos, podcast episode files, or direct links to audio/video files (mp3, m4a, wav, mp4, mov, ogg, webm, flac). The prefilled link is a short public-domain sample (the Gettysburg Address). Without an API key the run is a free preview of that sample only, one link per run.
Optional for a first try: leave it empty and the run returns a free preview of the sample recording. For full transcripts, SRT/VTT subtitles and your own links, add your key: sign in at whipscribe.com, get API access (the 5,000-minute pack at $24, or Workspace at $19/month), then create a key at https://whipscribe.com/apis/keys. Stored encrypted.
Spoken language of the recordings. Leave on Auto-detect unless you know it — WhipScribe detects 99+ languages. You can also type any ISO 639-1 code.
What to include in each dataset row. Plain text is always included. JSON adds timestamped segments with word timings; SRT and VTT add ready-to-use subtitle files.
[ "txt", "json"]On: the run waits until every transcript is ready and saves the text. Off: the run only submits the links and saves the job IDs — open the transcript link later.
How long to wait for all transcripts before giving up on the unfinished ones. Unfinished jobs keep running at WhipScribe — their row still carries the job ID and transcript link.
