UniScribe

Drop in a recorded lecture or a YouTube link and you can have a transcript, a short summary and a mind map of the material in one sitting.

UniScribe is an AI transcription tool that turns audio and video into text in 98 languages, then adds summaries, Q&A extraction and mind maps on top.

It also produces subtitle files, so the same upload can feed a video project.

The free plan gives you 120 minutes of transcription a month, capped at 5 files per day, on the standard speed model.

Exports on the free plan are TXT, SRT and VTT, and media files are kept for 30 days.

That is enough for occasional use, but the daily file cap will get in the way if you batch your recordings.

Paid plans start at $6 a month for Basic, which gives 1200 minutes, no daily file limit and the faster premium model.

Pro costs $18 a month and gives 6000 minutes.

Both paid tiers add Word, CSV and PDF export, no media retention limit and priority email support.
