No sales call

You sign up, or run a clip without signing up, and start. There is no quote and no onboarding.

Honest about the ceiling

Certified accuracy, regulated accessibility work and contractual guarantees are not on offer here. If you need them, buy them.

For everything below that line

Research interviews, podcast archives, lecture notes and internal recordings do not need a compliance vendor.

Speaker turns on Premium

Detection splits the recording by voice, with editable names.

Long recordings, no ceremony

A three-hour file is submitted like any other and finishes in the background.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free Verbit alternative?

LongScribe's free plan includes 60 transcription minutes a month across up to 20 recordings, and a short clip runs with no account.

Can it label who said what?

Yes, on Premium. Speaker detection splits the recording into turns and the names you set carry into every download.

Does it handle long recordings?

Yes. Multi-hour files queue in the background rather than timing out.

Is it suitable for legal or accessibility compliance?

No. Compliance work needs guaranteed accuracy and a human in the loop, which is exactly what enterprise services provide and this does not.
