Speechyou

Overview

Speechyou is a browser-based AI transcription platform designed to turn spoken audio and video content into searchable, timestamped text. The service positions itself as a capable meeting and voice note tool with an unusually broad language range: it claims support for about 1,700 languages by combining OpenAI’s Whisper with the company’s proprietary MultiLingual Pro model. In addition to transcription, the product offers a built-in voice recorder, simultaneous system and microphone capture for virtual meetings, live translation, an interactive chat interface for summarizing transcripts, and export options that span plain text, subtitles, and JSON. Speechyou also hosts a set of free audio utilities and maintains a presence on the Apple App Store, with SaaS plans starting at $15 per month.

Key Features

• MultiLingual Pro transcription: Speechyou uses a combination of OpenAI’s Whisper and an internally developed MultiLingual Pro model to transcribe audio across roughly 1,700 languages. The system automatically detects the spoken language and adds segment-level timestamps, a feature that is essential for editing and quote hunting.
• Meeting mode recorder: The built-in browser recorder captures both microphone and system audio, which means Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet sessions can be documented without an external virtual audio cable. Recordings are transcribed in the same interface where they are captured.
• AI chat, summaries, and action items: Transcripts become interactive documents. Users can ask natural language questions about the recorded conversation, generate an executive summary with action items, or pull out key points. This turns the service from a passive transcription tool into a lightweight meeting intelligence layer.
• One-click translation into 1,700 languages: Transcripts can be translated after the fact without losing time-aligned timestamps. This is noteworthy for international teams or anyone who needs subtitles in multiple languages.
• Export as TXT, SRT, VTT, or JSON: Users can download the final result in plain text for notes, in subtitle formats for video publishing, or in structured JSON for automations and integrations.
• Workspace collaboration and search: Transcripts can be shared with teammates, permissions can be set to viewer or editor, and content is organized by tags and free-text search so users can locate previous meetings quickly.

How It Works

Audio is fed into Speechyou in one of three ways: direct in-browser recording, an uploaded audio or video file, or the meeting mode that records screen/system sound plus a microphone at the same time. The platform then runs the audio through its speech-to-text engine and returns a transcript with speaker labels and timestamps within seconds. After the text appears, users can switch to chat mode and ask for a summary, extract action items, or dive into specific sections. When the transcript is complete, it can be exported as TXT, SRT, VTT, JSON, or shared directly into a team workspace where edits stay synchronized.

Who It's For

Speechyou targets roles that spend significant time in verbal communication. Meeting moderators, program managers, sales staff, and consultants can use the automated notes to stay aligned without a dedicated scribe. Podcasters and social media creators will find the SRT/VTT exports handy for subtitles, while journalists and researchers may lean on timestamped transcripts and AI chat for quotations. The 1,700-language support extends its usefulness to multinational companies, remote teams, and educators who record lectures, and the free tier makes it approachable for students and freelancers who only need occasional transcription.
