Clipto.AI (2025)

Solid transcription workhorse, but the pricing caught me off guard

I've been using Clipto for about three months now, mainly for converting recorded lectures and client meeting footage into searchable documents. The transcription accuracy is genuinely impressive - even with mediocre audio quality, it catches probably 95% of what's said. The speaker separation feature actually works, which surprised me coming from other tools where overlapping dialogue becomes a mess. What really saves time is the batch processing. I can dump five or six video files and come back later to everything already transcribed. The export options are extensive too - I mainly use DOCX and SRT for different projects. Honestly though, the pricing structure feels a bit steep. After the free trial expires, jumping from nothing to nearly $25 a month is a lot, especially compared to competitors sitting around $10-15. The interface takes a minute to figure out if you're new to this type of tool, though nothing complicated once you get it. Would I recommend it? Yeah, definitely. The quality justifies the cost if you're transcribing regularly. Just budget for it accordingly.
