NearScribe

NearScribe is an AI transcription tool that turns audio and video into accurate, editable text. Upload a file, paste a supported link, or record, then transcribe instantly in your browser—ideal for turning lectures, interviews, tutorials, and meetings into searchable notes.

Key features include broad language coverage (98 transcription languages), fast transcription, and an editor designed for cleanup. Word-level timestamps help you locate and refine specific sections, while speaker identification can separate speakers automatically so multi-person conversations are easier to follow. For additional workflow support, NearScribe offers AI translation and AI mind maps to summarize long recordings into structured key ideas.

After transcription, you can export your work in multiple formats, including TXT, CSV, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, and LRC. You can also transcribe from public links—such as YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter, TikTok, and Vimeo—without needing to download the media first.

Starter is $5/month (300 credits/month), Pro is $10/month (1,800 credits/month), and Premium is $30/month (6,000 credits/month), each with increasing limits and included features.
