Turn audio and video into polished transcripts.
TranscriptLab is a complete workspace for uploading, transcribing, editing, organizing, and exporting clean transcripts from recordings, videos, and YouTube.
A complete transcription workspace
Everything you need to turn audio into polished, ready-to-use transcripts.
Audio & video transcription
Built on OpenAI's gpt-4o transcription models, with optional speaker diarization and 57 languages plus automatic detection.
Synced viewer + inline editor
Click any line to seek the audio. Fix typos in place, rename speakers across the whole transcript, and group segments for readability.
Export & custom templates
Export to TXT, Markdown, SRT, VTT, CSV on every plan; PDF and DOCX on paid tiers. Or design your own export template — even infer one from a sample document.
Projects & invoices
Organize a growing library with projects, folders, and drag-reordering. Build invoices straight from your transcripts — PDF or Excel.
How it works
Three steps from audio to polished transcript.
Upload or paste a URL
Drop an audio or video file, or paste a YouTube URL. We pull the audio and queue the transcript.
AI transcribes in minutes
Audio runs through OpenAI's gpt-4o transcription pipeline with optional speaker labels and language auto-detect.
Edit, export, done
Review and refine in the synced viewer, then export to TXT, Markdown, SRT, VTT, CSV, PDF, or DOCX.
Built for the work you actually do
A workspace that fits the way you transcribe, edit, and ship.
Freelance transcriptionists
Get clean transcripts to clients fast — and bill for them without leaving the app.
Content creators
Turn long-form video and podcast episodes into searchable transcripts and ready-to-publish subtitles.
Researchers & journalists
Make hours of interviews searchable and citable — across languages and speakers.
