You can now ask questions about your own transcripts
Transcribe-It now lets you chat with your transcripts, save exports to Google Drive, re-summarize, and re-transcribe when something's off.
I kept reopening old transcripts to find one sentence. Scrolling through ten minutes of text to answer a question I could ask out loud in five seconds felt wrong. So I built a way to ask the transcript itself.
Chat with your transcript
Open a completed job and ask a question. The answer comes from your recording, not a guess. If the answer isn't in there, you get told that, instead of a made-up response. Each answer is billed on its own, so you pay for what you use and nothing more.
This matters as voice notes get longer. Models like Whisper and the ones tracked on the Hugging Face Open ASR Leaderboard have gotten good at turning speech into text, even with accents and background noise. Getting the words down was never the hard part. Finding the one thing you needed inside them was.
Your files, in your Drive
You can save a transcript and summary straight to Google Drive now, as a Google Doc, a Word file, or Markdown. Pick the folder with Google's own picker, and every export after that lands in the same place. No more digging through downloads to find the right file.
More control over your summaries
A summary can come back wrong for reasons that have nothing to do with the transcript: wrong tone, wrong length, missing context. You can re-summarize with a different style or your own prompt, and page back through older versions if the first one turned out better. If a transcript missed something on the first pass, you can re-transcribe it and tell us why, so we know what went wrong.
Recording that fails out loud, not in silence
Phones fall asleep. Tabs get backgrounded. Both used to ruin a recording without a word of warning. Your screen now stays awake while you record, and if you switch away, recording pauses instead of capturing dead air. You see what happened, right when it happens, instead of discovering a twelve-minute file with two minutes of audio.
A tidier job page
The whole job page got tidied up too. Status, chat, summary, and transcript now sit in their own separated sections, and the mobile layout got real breathing room instead of a phone screen packing seven panels into one view.
None of this changes what Transcribe-It does at its core: upload audio, get a transcript, a summary, and action points in your inbox, priced per minute. It does more with what you already recorded.
