Hey HN, we created a free audio/video transcription and editor that you can use for free. You can detect cheers, applause, filler words, edit transcript to edit audio, create audiograms and export in different formats.

We also have a chrome extension that transcribes any audio/video on the page you are on. After transcription you can follow along with the audio and read the transcribed text while the audio is playing. You can search for spoken content in a podcast or other audio/video content in your browser.

There are some limitations, our product only works on Chrome and Firefox, we only support english for now and audio longer than an hour is not guaranteed to be transcribed (we will lift this limitation soon)

Good work. I already use the Revoldiv extension and it is by far the fastest way I found to transcribe my videos. I am very interested to see how the filler word detection and editing works. As someone who edits several videos a week, spending 4-5 hours to edit an hour-long video has been extremely taxing for me. I would love something that can auto detect and remove, kind of like descript but they cap you at just 3 hours for the free version. I am wondering why videos longer than an hour are not guaranteed on Revoldiv? Is there a reason why you can’t offer that? Do you have plans to allow longer video/audio transcription and editing in the future?

The reason for capping it at an hour is, since the service is free we want to make the experience fast for everybody. We are gauging how our service is going to be used and allocating resources accordingly. We will allow longer transcriptions in the near future.

Hello Userhacker, Looks interesting. Is there a readable privacy policy? A lot of my clients will want to know where their video/audio is going, how long it stays there, and who else may have access - the usual stuff! Thank you in advance.

Hey IndySun, We are in the process of writing one, but we store the file to transcribe and it gets deleted automatically after a certain amount of time has elapsed (this varies on the server configuration, but in a short amount of time). No human accesses the audio or text transcription you have uploaded
