About Plainscribe

PlainScribe is a media transcription platform that converts audio and video files into searchable, editable text transcripts. The service handles large file uploads without size restrictions, making it practical for professionals dealing with extended recordings, interviews, meetings, or content archives. Users can immediately access and download their transcripts in multiple formats including plain text, CSV, and subtitle formats (SRT/VTT), enabling seamless integration into editing workflows and publishing pipelines. Beyond transcription, PlainScribe offers translation capabilities across more than 50 languages, allowing teams and content creators to expand their reach globally. The platform automatically generates concise summaries from transcripts, extracting key insights and actionable information without requiring manual review of lengthy audio content. This combination of transcription, translation, and summarization transforms raw media into organized, multilingual knowledge assets. Privacy and security are central to PlainScribe's design. The platform automatically deletes all uploaded files and data after 7 days, ensuring sensitive information doesn't persist on servers longer than necessary. The flexible pay-as-you-go pricing model means users only pay for what they actually process, with no minimum commitments or hidden fees, making the service scalable for both occasional users and heavy-volume operations.
