What it is
audien·to is a web service that transcribes audio and turns transcripts into written outputs, including summaries, show notes, meeting minutes, email recaps, article drafts, study notes, and custom formats. Audio can be uploaded, supplied by URL, or recorded through a browser microphone; listed formats include MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4, and MOV. It supports 67 languages. Transcripts are timestamped, separated by speaker, editable, and exportable as TXT, SRT, VTT, DOCX, or Markdown. The free plan costs nothing and allows up to 90 transcription minutes per calendar day, three files per day, and 30 minutes per file. Pro allows 10,000 minutes per month: the annual plan costs $10 a year, billed at $120 per year, while the monthly plan costs $20 a month. Uploaded audio is automatically deleted within 72 hours; transcripts and generated outputs remain until deletion, account closure, or anonymous-session expiry. The maker says customer content is not used to train AI models.
