How it works

From recording to ready text in four steps.

  1. Upload a file

    Drop an audio or video file: MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV and more. On Unlimited also YouTube links.

  2. We transcribe it

    AI turns speech into text and labels who said what.

  3. Edit and review

    Click any word to jump to that moment, rename speakers, fix typos.

  4. Export or generate

    Download DOCX, PDF, SRT or VTT, or turn the transcript into a blog post or summary.

AAleksandra L.2026

Transkryptomat has made my life so much easier! Love it. Also for the speed and great customer service.

NNataliia L.2025

Transcripts are lightning fast: an hour-long lesson and ten minutes later I have the text. I asked to add the teacher's signature and the team built a custom template for me. Great service and a very convenient tool.

KKamil A.2025

I use it regularly, mostly for recordings of training sessions. The quality is surprisingly high, even with poor recordings and background noise. Fair prices, easy payments.

KKatarzyna2025

Top quality service: short turnaround and very good contact with the team. Thank you!

KKrzysztof2023

Exactly what I was looking for. Fast, smooth and secure, and the transcript itself was flawless, better than Google or Apple.

RRobert2023

A simple, inexpensive tool with transcription quality you can't get elsewhere at this price.

Data security

We process recordings only to deliver the features you choose. Customer data is stored in the European Union.

Your recordings are yours.

We don't sell them, share them or use them to train AI. On request we anonymise parts of a transcript, such as names and numbers.

Encryption
The database is encrypted at rest with AES-256. Connections between the app and the databases use TLS, which protects against eavesdropping and fake databases. You connect to the site over HTTPS.
Passwords and keys in a vault
We keep them in a Secret Vault service at our provider, in the Warsaw region. Once fetched they live only in memory, never on disk. Each service gets only the keys it needs.
Controlled access
Every service proves its identity with its own certificate, which expires, and gets short-lived access tokens. Databases aren't reachable directly from the internet. Every read and change of a key is recorded in an audit log.
Retention and deletion
On Unlimited you set it in the dashboard (1 to 365 days or no limit). Free files are deleted after 7 days.
Data in the EU, GDPR compliant
Our infrastructure runs in the European Union. For recordings we act as a data processor and offer organisations a data processing agreement (DPA).
AI training: never
Recordings and transcripts are never used to train AI models.

Frequently asked questions

How does the free plan work?

Upload a recording and you get the first 15 minutes transcribed in your dashboard. You can do this with 3 files a day, no credit card needed. For more files, longer recordings or YouTube links, switch to Unlimited.

What do I get?

A transcript with speakers and timestamps that you can edit and export to TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT or VTT. Transcription is automatic and not checked by a person, so some words may differ from the recording.

How long does it take?

It depends on the length of the recording. Short files are usually ready in a few minutes, and you'll see the transcript in your dashboard as soon as it's done.

Which languages and file types do you support?

18 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Polish. Files: MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV and other common audio and video formats. On Unlimited you can also paste YouTube links.

What does Unlimited cost?

The standard price is $30 a month, or $15 a month billed yearly ($180). It covers unlimited files up to 730 hours of recordings a month, the editor, all AI templates and every export format.

Is my data secure?

Yes. Data is stored in the EU, the database is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and connections, including those between the app and the databases, use TLS. The databases aren't reachable directly from the internet.

How long do you keep my files?

Files from the free plan are deleted after 7 days. On Unlimited you set retention in the dashboard: 1 to 365 days or no limit.

Are my recordings used to train AI?

No. Recordings, transcripts and other materials are never used to train AI models or for anything other than delivering the service.

Who is behind TranscriptMate?

Hinter sp. z o.o., a Polish company that has run the transcription service Transkryptomat.pl since 2018. TranscriptMate is its international version.

Can I transcribe any recording?

Make sure you have the right to record, upload and process the material. The rules depend on the context of the conversation and the legal basis. TranscriptMate doesn't assess whether a recording is lawful.
