HypeScribe is an AI transcription service for audio, video, and online meetings. You can upload a file, paste a link from YouTube or Google Drive, record a voice note, or send a bot to your Zoom, Meet, or Teams call. You get timestamped transcripts with speaker labels, AI summaries, and a Q&A chat. You pay per file, not per minute, so it suits students, creators, and professionals with long recordings.

• Per-File Token Pricing: One token covers one transcription, whatever the file length. A three-hour lecture costs the same as a five-minute clip, so long recordings don't eat into your allowance.
• Uploads and Links: Upload MP3, MP4, WAV, WEBM, M4A, AVI, MOV and other common formats. You can also paste links from YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Vimeo, Reddit, Twitter, Google Drive and more, so you don't have to download the file first.
• Meeting Note Taker: A bot joins your Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams meetings and transcribes them in real time, then writes a summary. It's included on the Pro and Ultra plans.
• AI Summaries and Q&A Chat: Each recording gets key takeaways, key facts, and action items. You can also ask the built-in chatbot questions about the file and get answers from the transcript.
• Choice of AI Model: You choose whether ChatGPT or Claude writes your summaries and answers your questions.
• 99+ Languages with Auto-Detection: The language is detected automatically, so recordings in English, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Russian, and many more languages need no setup.
• Speaker Detection and Timestamps: Transcripts show who spoke and when, so you can find a quote or check a decision quickly.
• Flexible Export: Export transcripts in PDF, TXT, DOCX, and Markdown formats for use in documents, reports, and personal notes.

• Low entry price: Paid plans start at $6.99/month, or about $4.10/month billed yearly. That puts it at the budget end of AI transcription tools.
• Long files cost the same as short ones: Pricing per file, with no length limit, suits lectures, podcasts, and long interviews better than per-minute billing.
• Unused tokens roll over: Tokens you don't use carry into the next month, so a quiet month doesn't waste what you paid for.
• Many ways to bring in content: File uploads, links from about 15 platforms, a voice recorder, and a meeting bot all feed the same workspace.
• Privacy-minded file handling: Raw audio and video files are deleted right after transcription. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and you can delete transcripts or your account from the dashboard.
• Discounts for students: Students can get 50% off any plan by emailing support with a student ID.

• Limited meeting allowance: Starter does not include the meeting note-taker. Pro is limited to 10 meetings per month, while Ultra allows 30, which may not suit teams with frequent meetings.
• Text exports only: Exports are listed as Google Docs, DOCX, PDF, TXT, and Markdown. Subtitle formats such as SRT aren't mentioned, so video teams that need caption files may need another tool.

• Lecture and Study Notes: Upload a recorded lecture or paste a YouTube link to a course video. You get a full transcript plus key takeaways, and you can ask the chatbot to explain a point before an exam.
• Meeting Records for Remote Teams: Send the Note Taker to your Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams call. You get a timestamped transcript with speaker labels, a summary, and action items without taking notes yourself.
• Podcast and Video Content Repurposing: Transcribe a long podcast episode or interview with a single token, whatever its length. Export it to Google Docs or Markdown to draft show notes, blog posts, or social clips.
• Research Interviews: Transcribe hours of interview recordings in many languages with auto-detection. Use speaker detection and timestamps to pull exact quotes for your analysis.
• Multilingual Content Review: Paste links to videos in Spanish, Russian, Chinese, or Arabic and get transcripts in the original language. Then use the Q&A chat to quickly see what each video covers.
• Quick Voice Notes: Use the built-in voice recorder to capture an idea or a set of to-dos. HypeScribe turns it into text and pulls out the action items.
