Turn any audio or video into a searchable, speaker-labeled transcript on your own infrastructure — no cloud upload, no per-minute fees, your data stays yours.
A live product on the CloviTek platform — self-hosted transcription with speaker labels, AI summaries, and full-text search across your whole library.
CloviTranscribe turns any audio or video file into a searchable, speaker-labeled transcript that runs on your own infrastructure — no cloud upload and no per-minute billing. It pairs accurate speech-to-text with speaker diarization and CloviAI Engine summaries, so a raw recording becomes a structured record of who said what, what was decided, and what to do next.
Most transcription is cloud-only and billed by the minute — a non-starter for the operators, producers, and builders who have data-residency rules or unpredictable volume. CloviTranscribe owns the self-hosted, flat-rate corner: full transcription depth with complete data control, on hardware you already run.
Automatic speech recognition is an $8.6B global market growing at roughly 17% a year — and it is dominated by cloud-only, per-minute pricing that a meaningful slice of buyers simply cannot use.
Cloud transcribers require you to hand over your recordings and pay for every minute. CloviTranscribe inverts both: it runs where your data already lives and bills a flat rate, so volume never becomes a penalty and privacy is the default, not an upgrade.
The real capability set behind CloviTranscribe — designed, built, and run by our composed AI team.
Upload MP3, MP4, WAV, or paste a public media link and get accurate speech-to-text back in minutes — faster than realtime, across 99 languages.
Automatically labels who said what for up to 8 speakers. Rename speakers in the viewer and the labels persist — tested against background noise and non-native English.
The CloviAI Engine generates a TL;DR, action items, key decisions, and open questions right in the transcript viewer, with one-click copy per section.
Every stored transcript is indexed. Find any phrase, decision, or speaker across your whole library — turning a one-off tool into a searchable knowledge base.
TXT for plain text, SRT/VTT for captions, and JSON with word-level timestamps — on every tier. Business adds custom vocabulary and a premium-accuracy mode.
Submit jobs programmatically, receive an HMAC-signed webhook on completion, and embed transcription inside your own SaaS — custom white-label subdomain included.
Zero-friction activation for every CloviTek account via single sign-on, and native bridges to CloviLeads for action items and CloviNarrate for narration scripts.
Flat-rate plans mean transcription volume never triggers a surprise bill — run unlimited jobs on hardware you have already provisioned.
Send any transcript to CloviPDF for a formatted document with speaker labels and timestamps, ready to share or archive.
How CloviTranscribe stacks up against cloud-only transcription tools on the things privacy-minded teams actually care about.
