Getting started
- Open UniScribe and sign in; the site asks for sign-in before transcribing.
- Upload an audio or video file or paste a YouTube link, then start the transcription.
- Check speaker labels, names and timing in the result, then export TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT or CSV.
Decision points
- The free plan is small (120 minutes a month, files up to 30 minutes, 3 files a day), so long recordings need a paid plan.
- If you want a bot that joins live meetings, choose a meeting assistant; this entry covers transcribing files and links.
Limits
- Sign-in is required and uploaded recordings go to an online service, so read the privacy terms before uploading confidential audio.
- Paid plans list files up to 5 hours and 5 GB with batch upload of 50 files; these limits can change.
