What is Plainscribe?

PlainScribe is a web-based tool for transcribing audio and video files, translating transcripts, and generating summaries. You upload media files up to 100MB, and the tool converts speech to text, translates the output into one of over 50 languages, and extracts key points automatically. It's designed for anyone who needs to process recorded content without managing subscriptions or recurring costs. The service works on a pay-as-you-go basis, charging $0.067 per minute of media processed, or you can prepay for 150-minute bundles at $10 each. Files are automatically deleted after 7 days, so your data isn't stored long-term on their servers.
