What is PlainScribe?
PlainScribe transcribes audio and video in 47 languages, with speaker labels, timestamps, AI summaries and subtitle exports. You top up prepaid credits and pay about $4 per audio hour instead of a monthly plan, which suits occasional users.
Upload a file, let the AI process it, then export TXT, SRT or VTT. The first transcript is free up to two hours with no card required. One credit equals one hour of audio, and larger top-ups carry bonus credits of 5 to 15 percent.
Credits expire one year after purchase, and transcripts are deleted automatically after 30 days. There is no minute cap that resets and nothing to cancel.
