Go from audio straight to publishable content
Problem Statement
Professional content creators, journalists, and academics need to transform audio content into publishable text, but current transcription tools fail them in critical ways:
1. Quality Gap: Automated transcriptions from YouTube, Spotify, and similar platforms produce text that's unsuitable for standalone publication. They're riddled with typos, mistranslations, and retain all the verbal clutter - the 'ums,' 'uhs,' repetitions, and false starts that make spoken language different from written text.
2. Pricing Friction: Most quality transcription services lock users into monthly subscriptions, creating a barrier for professionals who need occasional, high-quality transcriptions. A journalist transcribing one key interview or an academic processing a single research interview shouldn't need a $30-50/month subscription.
3. Manual Post-Processing Burden: Even with paid services, users spend hours cleaning transcripts, formatting them properly, and adding context like citations or links to mentioned works. This manual work often takes as long as the original audio itself.
The Impact
This forces professionals to either:
Accept subpar automated transcriptions that damage their credibility
Pay for expensive subscriptions they underutilize
Spend valuable hours manually cleaning and formatting transcripts
Outsource to human transcribers at $1-3 per minute, making a 60-minute podcast cost $60-180
We're solving this by creating an AI-powered transcription service that delivers publication-ready content in one pass - clean, formatted, with filler words removed and citations linked - all on a pay-per-use basis. Think of it as the difference between a rough draft and a polished article, delivered automatically. With options to export to .doc, .html, markdown or .srt. In the future, we'll provide an API and MCP
