What it does
Transgate is a web-based service for transcribing recordings such as meetings, calls, interviews and lectures. You upload a file in a common format like MP3, WAV, MP4, AVI or MOV, choose the language, and download the transcript once the AI has processed it. Beyond transcription, it offers translation into 50+ languages, AI summaries, highlights that pick out key points and action items, and a chat feature for asking questions about speakers, topics and decisions in a recording. Transcripts can be reviewed, edited and exported in several formats. The site claims over 98% accuracy, describes encryption of stored data, and says users can delete their data at any time. Pricing is pay-as-you-go, and a free trial covers up to 20 minutes of audio or video.
