The problem

Auto-Captions Aren't a Transcript

Free captions give you a wall of lowercase words with no speakers, no punctuation and every um kept in. Hover a pain point to see it in the raw output.

The solution

The Same Four Minutes, Done Properly

Transkio labels the speakers, punctuates, drops the fillers and timestamps every line. Hover a fix to see where it applied.

It stays faithful where it counts: nothing is paraphrased or invented, and every edit you make in the editor is yours. AI transcripts can still contain errors — review before you rely on them.

What Users Are Saying

JR

Jordan R.

Podcast host · 🇺🇸 United States

4.8

I stopped re-listening to every episode just to catch names and timestamps. Podcast transcription this accurate means I trust it on the first pass.

PT

Priya T.

Freelance journalist · 🇬🇧 United Kingdom

4.6

Uploading a 40-minute interview and getting a clean, punctuated transcript back a few minutes later changed how I plan my week. Interview transcription that used to eat an afternoon now takes minutes.

DM

We record every client call now. Meeting transcription with AI summaries means nobody has to sit through the recording just to catch up.

SK

Sam K.

Grad student · 🇨🇦 Canada

4.7

Between lectures and interviews for my thesis, lecture transcription saved me more hours than I expected. Speaker labels alone were worth switching for.

TB

Theo B.

Meeting-heavy manager · 🇳🇱 Netherlands

4.9

Editing a transcript is so much faster than writing notes from scratch. I click a line, fix a name, and move on — meeting transcription that finally keeps up with my calendar.

MH

Marcus H.

Church media coordinator · 🇺🇸 United States

4.9

We record every Sunday service, and sermon transcription turns an hour-long message into a clean, searchable transcript we can post the same day.

AN

Aisha N.

Nurse practitioner · 🇬🇧 United Kingdom

4.5

Between patient consults, accurate medical transcription matters. It keeps the terminology readable, and I still review every line before it goes in a chart.

CD

Claire D.

Paralegal · 🇦🇺 Australia

4.8

Depositions and client calls used to take hours to write up. Now legal transcription with speaker labels gets a first draft ready before I've finished my coffee.

KO

Kenji O.

YouTube creator · 🇯🇵 Japan

4.6

I paste in a link and the YouTube transcript generator hands me captions I can actually edit, not just auto-captions.

LF

Lucas F.

Video producer · 🇧🇷 Brazil

4.7

Turning raw footage into a script used to be the slowest part of editing. Video to text gets me a working draft in minutes.

MS

Maria S.

Small business owner · 🇵🇹 Portugal

4.5

Every interview I record drops as an MP3. MP3 to text gets me a clean transcript before I've even opened the file in an editor.

NB

Nadia B.

Online course producer · 🇫🇷 France

5.0

We publish course videos in three languages. Translated subtitles used to be outsourced — now it's one export.

OP

Owen P.

HR recruiter · 🇮🇪 Ireland

4.8

Panel interviews with four people talking over each other used to be unreadable. Speaker detection is the only reason the transcript still makes sense.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Plans, formats, accuracy and privacy — the questions people ask before their first upload.

What is Transkio?

Transkio is an AI transcription service. Upload an audio or video file — or record a meeting straight from your browser — and it returns an editable transcript with timestamps, plus summaries, translations and subtitle files on paid plans.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. A free account comes with 60 trial minutes, then 30 minutes every month, with no credit card required. Free transcripts export as TXT, SRT, VTT.

How accurate are the transcripts?

Accuracy depends on the recording: clear speech with little background noise transcribes very well, while crosstalk, heavy accents or a distant microphone lower it. Every transcript opens in an editor so you can fix names and terms before exporting — please review AI transcripts before relying on them.

Which file formats can I upload?

MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, OPUS, FLAC and WebM audio, and MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM and MPEG video. Files up to 100 MB on the free plan and up to 8 GB on Ultra.

Can I record a meeting instead of uploading a file?

Yes. The in-browser recorder captures your microphone, and on Pro and above it can also capture tab audio from Zoom, Google Meet or any browser call. Free recordings run up to 30 minutes; Ultra allows 8 hours per session.

Does it tell speakers apart?

Speaker detection labels each turn (Speaker 1, Speaker 2, …) so you can rename them in the editor. It is included on the Elite and Ultra plans.

Which languages are supported?

50+ languages, including English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Turkish and Russian. Language is detected automatically, or you can set it before transcribing. Translation into another language is available from Pro.

How long does transcription take?

Usually a few minutes for an hour of audio — files are processed in parallel and you get an email when the transcript is ready. Elite and Ultra are queued first when the service is busy.

Can I get subtitles or a summary?

SRT and VTT subtitle files are available on every plan, including free. AI summaries with key points and action items are included on Elite and Ultra.

What export formats are there?

TXT, SRT, VTT on the free plan; paid plans add DOCX and JSON (TXT, SRT, VTT, JSON, DOCX) — with or without timestamps and speaker labels.

Is my audio private?

Your files and transcripts are private to your account, stored encrypted, and you can delete them at any time. We don't use your recordings to train models. See the AI Policy and Privacy Policy for the details.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Uploading, recording, editing and exporting all happen in the browser on desktop and mobile — nothing to install and no browser extension.
