What it is

AI transcription for audio and video files and links, plus a meeting notetaker for Zoom, Teams and Google Meet

How it works

Upload a file or paste a link, and HypeScribe returns a transcript and summary. Or let the notetaker join your Zoom, Teams or Meet call and send notes afterward.

Seen on HypeScribe’s own product pages, help center and documentation, read November 1, 2026 (listed under Sources). We haven’t used HypeScribe ourselves.

What it costs

Free; Starter $6.99/mo, checked November 1, 2026

Prices checked November 1, 2026, from HypeScribe’s own pricing page unless noted. Prices change often, so check the official page before you buy.

  • Free: 3 files a month, up to 1 hour each, no card.
  • Starter: $6.99 a month, or $49.20 a year ($4.10 a month), 30 tokens.
  • Pro: $7.99 a month, or $52.68 a year ($4.39 a month), 60 tokens plus the notetaker for 10 meetings.
  • Ultra: $12.99 a month, or $89.88 a year ($7.49 a month), 300 tokens and 30 meetings; top-ups from $0.25 a credit.
  • 1 token = 1 file of any length; unused tokens roll over; prices in USD (official pricing, checked November 1, 2026).

What we like

  • Very low prices, and 1 token covers a file of any length.
  • Unused tokens roll over.
  • Free plan with no card.
  • Says raw media is deleted after transcription and recordings are not used for training.

What to watch out for

  • Notetaker meetings are capped by plan.
  • Few independent reviews.
  • AI transcripts still need checking for names and terms.
  • Fewer team and admin features than bigger rivals.

The fine print

  • Cancel anytime; plans renew automatically.
  • Top-up credits are bought separately.
  • You need permission to record meetings where the law requires it.
  • Legitimacy signals we found: a public product with published pricing and privacy statements and 40,000+ users claimed.

Who it’s best for

People who transcribe long recordings on a budget.

  • Students, podcasters and researchers with long recordings to transcribe.
  • People who want a cheap meeting notetaker for Zoom, Teams or Meet.
  • Anyone working in one of its 99+ languages.
  • Teams needing admin controls and compliance may want a bigger product.

Our take

HypeScribe is one of the cheapest ways to transcribe long recordings, and the per-file token model is a real plus, but it is a smaller company, so try the free files before paying.
