Clipto

Clipto converts video and audio into timestamped, speaker labelled transcripts from uploads, online links or live recording, then adds AI summaries, transcript chat, translation into 99+ languages and TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT or VTT exports. A 7-day free trial is offered, and the tool targets meetings, interviews, lectures and creator content.

Clipto is a browser based transcription service that turns video and audio into searchable text. Files can arrive three ways: an upload from a local device, a pasted online link (the page names YouTube and Zoom as sources), or a direct recording started inside the tool. Supported inputs include MP4, MP3, MOV and AVI, so the same workflow handles a podcast master file, a screen recording of a meeting and a video pulled from a hosting platform. Output is a transcript with timestamps and speaker labels, which the company positions as the foundation for review, summarization and reuse rather than a finished document. The feature set goes beyond plain speech to text. The Record function captures live video and audio as it plays and keeps transcribing after the tab is closed. AI Summaries condense a recording into key points, decisions, action items and speaker insights, and an AI Chat mode lets users question the transcript instead of reading it end to end. Translation covers 99+ languages, and exports are available as TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT and VTT, which makes the same transcript usable as a working note, a subtitle file or a published caption track. The tool is aimed at people who process a lot of spoken material: meeting and call notes, journalist interviews, lecture capture for students and teachers, creator workflows for YouTube and podcasts, plus clinical and ministry recordings where accuracy matters. Clipto markets itself on 99 percent accuracy and a 4.7/5 Trustpilot rating, and lists a Product Hunt Product of the Month badge. It sits in the crowded AI transcription field alongside dedicated meeting notetakers and general speech to text engines. Its differentiators are breadth of input (link, upload and live recording in one place), the bundled summary, chat and translation layer, and subtitle ready exports. Pricing is not published on the homepage beyond the trial, so buyers should confirm plan limits and seat terms directly.
