What is LiteScribe
LiteScribe transcribes recorded episodes and live interviews with speaker diarization across more than 100 languages, then generates a summary, topic tags and action items from each transcript. Exports include SRT for captions, plus PDF, DOCX and plain text.
For remote interviews it can capture the conversation without sending a bot into the call, using desktop system-audio capture or a browser extension, so no extra participant appears in Zoom, Teams or Google Meet.
The desktop app also includes an offline mode that runs the speech model and an LLM on-device, which matters for embargoed or confidential interviews. Free tier is 120 minutes per month. Measured accuracy is 94.1 per cent on English audio.
