Hushscript turns uploaded audio and video into speaker-labeled transcripts, summaries, key points, and timestamped chapters. Its first Insights run can produce actions, decisions, open questions, quotes, chapters, speaker topics, subject clusters, export suggestions, terminology and profanity findings, and a cleaned transcript without using transcription minutes. The editor supports segment edits, speaker renaming, tags, find and replace, and reverting edits. Recordings can be up to 10 hours, with no file-size limit, subject to service safeguards. Hushscript detects language automatically and transcribes around 99 languages, with top-tier accuracy in 18 according to its video summarizer page. Inputs include audio and video uploads, shared audio-file links, and microphone recordings; YouTube links are not supported. For video uploads, audio is extracted in the browser, and transcription audio is deleted when a transcript is saved. Stored transcripts and Insights are encrypted at rest. Users can choose retention until deletion, automatic deletion after 7, 30, 90, or 365 days, or private mode with a password-protected archive. It is available on the web and through an API, and lists 21 export formats. A 45-minute prepaid pack costs 1.99 USD per once; Teams starts at 49.00 USD per month.
Who it is for
Hushscript suits people handling long recordings such as meetings, lectures, multi-guest podcasts, webinars, and interview calls. Its editing, export, and retention options may also suit users who need to manage transcript outputs.
