About Transcrip
Transcrip turns live speech into text in the browser on desktop, tablet or phone, with nothing to install and no bot joining your meeting. It can capture microphone input, audio from a browser tab such as YouTube, Google Meet or Zoom on the web, or a mix of both, and shows text as you speak with multilingual and monolingual modes.
Privacy is a central design point: free transcripts stay local in the browser, while paid users get an encrypted zero-knowledge vault that the service cannot read. Paid usage also unlocks AI summaries and transcript search.
Every account gets 45 free minutes per week. Plus costs $2.99 per month with 400 included minutes that reset monthly, and credit packs from $2 add 60 minutes that never expire. It is a hosted web app with guides, a FAQ and a pricing page.
