Designed for on-screen reading
Floating captions stay readable while you watch a tab or speak into the mic — then the full text lands in History when you stop.
Real-time captions you can save
Stream audio and read captions as speech lands. Keep a single caption line for transcription, or switch to Real-time translation for original plus translated lines.
No extra cost

Why TranscribeChirp
Built for this workflow
Live and file jobs in one history
Saved live sessions sit next to uploads and recordings. Batch plain text stays 1 credit/min; live starts at 1.5 credits/min.
Start with free credits
New accounts include 30 credits to try a short live session or an upload before you subscribe or buy a minute pack.
How it works
Three steps to usable text
Step 1
Start a live session
Open Real-time transcription or Real-time translation from the dashboard. Choose your spoken language (or Auto) before you stream.
Step 2
Stream mic or tab audio
Capture your microphone or a browser tab (Chrome/Edge). Words appear while you listen; translation mode adds a second caption line.
Step 3
Stop, save, and reuse
Stop the session to save the transcript into history with an auto title. Copy text or export later alongside your batch jobs.
