Typist is a browser-based tool that transcribes audio and video files into text using selectable speech-to-text models. It accepts uploads up to 5 GB on paid plans and exports transcripts to TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT, or VTT formats. A free tier provides limited transcription minutes without requiring an account or credit card.
