Free AI transcription software for meetings — 99+ languages

AI transcription software turns recorded speech into written text automatically, instead of someone typing the conversation out by hand. Meetlens is an AI transcriber built for meetings: it takes the audio captured from a supported browser call, or a recording you upload yourself, and returns a timestamped transcript with a label for each speaker across 99+ languages. Transcription runs after the recording ends, and the text stays editable in the workspace so you can correct names and terms before using it.

Transcription quality depends on the source audio. Clear voices, close microphones, stable connections, and limited background noise produce the best results. Overlapping speech, distant microphones, heavy noise, and unfamiliar terminology can increase errors, so important names, figures, and quotations should be reviewed before they are shared.

There's a free tier with 180 minutes per month included; every meeting on it gets a full transcript with speaker labels, timestamps, and 99+ language detection. Free is also capped at 60 minutes per recording. Paid plans expand the monthly minute pool: Pro gives 700 minutes for $15/month, Business gives 2000 minutes per licensed member for $30 per seat / month. Both raise per-recording length and unlock Markdown, TXT, and PDF export plus recording downloads.

Transcription runs after the recording ends, not during the meeting. Meetlens processes the audio in the background and the finished transcript usually appears in your workspace within minutes. Longer recordings can take longer to process, and you do not need to keep the meeting page open while you wait.

Yes. You can correct transcript text and rename speakers in the meeting workspace. Review important names, figures, and quotations before sharing or exporting the transcript.

Meetlens provides post-meeting transcription. You start recording from the Chrome extension, Meetlens captures the meeting-tab audio, and transcription begins after the recording ends. It does not display a live transcript or live transcription overlay during the call.

99+ languages for transcription including Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, Arabic, Hebrew, Turkish, Persian, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, and Indonesian. Language detection is automatic, no manual setup or language tags. Note: AI reports and summaries are generated in one of four output languages today (English, Russian, Spanish, German); the original-language transcript is always preserved.

Yes, on Pro and Business. Export to Markdown, TXT, or PDF directly from the workspace. The export keeps speaker labels and timestamps so the structure stays usable in any downstream tool. Free plan can view and copy from the workspace; file export is paid.

Yes. You can upload MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, WebM, or MP4 recordings. Meetlens processes the audio track and creates a transcript with language detection, speaker separation, and timestamps.

Audio is uploaded for transcription and the resulting transcript is stored in your Meetlens account. Meetlens uses cloud infrastructure and AI processing providers to deliver the service. See the Privacy Policy for the current description of data processing, storage, subprocessors, and your deletion rights.

Yes. The Meetlens workspace is responsive, so any past meeting opens on a phone browser and the transcript, AI report, and action items render the same as on desktop. Search across all your past transcripts works on mobile too. Standalone iOS and Android apps are on the roadmap; the web experience already covers commute-time reading.
