Transkrib
Transkrib SmartCut AI is a desktop application and Telegram bot that automatically transcribes video and audio content, identifies key segments, and compiles a shortened highlight reel with subtitles. It leverages OpenAI Whisper for speech recognition and Claude for semantic analysis to detect important moments. Designed for content creators, marketers, and business professionals, it aims to reduce manual editing time by distilling hours of footage into concise summaries. The tool supports six languages (Russian, English, Hindi, Chinese, Korean, Portuguese) and offers export of transcripts and subtitle files. The desktop version runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, while the Telegram bot provides a convenient mobile alternative without installation. Processing is fast: a 2-hour video can be summarized in approximately 3 minutes. A 7-day free trial allows up to 3 videos per day (max 30 minutes each). Paid plans expand limits and duration, including a yearly plan with unlimited video length and 20 videos/day.
