What Hushscript does differently
What's included, always
Private by design
Video stays on your device, transcription audio isn't kept after processing, transcripts and AI artifacts are encrypted at rest, retention controls are built in, and private mode can return a password-protected archive without saving the transcript.
No subscription
Pay as you go: prepaid minutes only when you need them, from about a penny a minute. Nothing recurring, nothing to cancel.
Honest free: 30 minutes, no watermark
30 free minutes, once, to try the real thing: add a card (a $1 hold, released right away) or pay another way and they arrive with your first purchase. A card isn't required.
Free speaker labels
Every transcript separates who said what, automatically. Not a paid add-on.
What you can transcribe
Speech to text for anything you can record: interviews, meetings, podcasts, lectures, voice memos, phone-call recordings. Recordings can run up to 10 hours, with no file-size limit – large video and audio are prepared right in your browser. Around 99 languages, auto-detected.
Free tools
Need to convert, extract audio, or compress a file first? Our free tools run entirely in your browser: no signup, nothing leaves your device, and they're genuinely free.
Frequently asked questions
What can I transcribe?
Almost anything you can record, as audio or video: interviews, meetings, podcasts, lectures, voice memos, or phone-call recordings. Recordings can run up to 10 hours, with no file-size limit – large video and audio are prepared right in your browser. You can merge related recordings before starting.
Is it really free?
Hushscript isn't free. We use top-tier AI, so it's pay-as-you-go with no subscription. You do get 30 free minutes to try: add and validate a card (a $1 hold, released right away, never charged) and they're yours instantly, or with your first purchase if you pay another way. See pricing.
Do you keep my audio?
No. Audio is deleted when your transcript is ready. In private mode, the transcript is not saved to your account; you receive a password-protected archive instead.
Is there a subscription?
No. You buy prepaid minute packs only when you need them; nothing recurring, nothing to cancel.
Any limits?
Recordings can run up to 10 hours, with no file-size limit – large video and audio are prepared right in your browser. There is no plan-based daily/monthly allowance; high service-safety and active-job safeguards apply.
Are speakers labeled?
Yes, automatically, on every transcript, and you can rename them. Free on every plan.
What languages?
It detects the language automatically and transcribes around 99 languages. See the full list on the languages page.
