What it is

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.


Where it fits

Built for teams that can't send audio to the cloud

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.

  • For compliance-sensitive teams whose IT blocks cloud transcription
  • Complete data control and a searchable audit trail, not a black-box upload
  • Bundled into the CloviTek platform suite, so it grows stickier with every sibling product

Market & opportunity

A large market with a structurally under-served niche

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.

  • Data-sovereignty demandA large share of the market — SMBs in food, agriculture, legal, and HR — has residency rules that make cloud transcription forbidden.
  • Flat-rate over per-minutePredictable pricing on hardware teams already run beats metered billing that punishes high-volume workflows.
  • Ecosystem bundlingDelivered inside the CloviTek platform suite, CloviTranscribe grows stickier and more valuable with every sibling product.
The core difference

Transcription that stays on your side

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.

  • Self-hosted / on-premise deployment — no third-party audio upload
  • Zero per-minute billing — flat-rate, predictable costs
  • Speaker diarization for up to 8 speakers, included on Pro
  • White-label embed for SaaS builders on the Business tier
Capabilities

What CloviTranscribe does

The real capability set behind CloviTranscribe — designed, built, and run by our composed AI team.

Instant transcription, 99 languages

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.

Speaker diarization (Pro)

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.

AI meeting summary (Pro)

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.

Full-text search (Pro)

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.

Multi-format export

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.

REST API + webhooks (Business)

Submit jobs programmatically, receive an HMAC-signed webhook on completion, and embed transcription inside your own SaaS — custom white-label subdomain included.

Platform integration

Zero-friction activation for every CloviTek account via single sign-on, and native bridges to CloviLeads for action items and CloviNarrate for narration scripts.

No per-minute ceiling

Flat-rate plans mean transcription volume never triggers a surprise bill — run unlimited jobs on hardware you have already provisioned.

Clean PDF export

Send any transcript to CloviPDF for a formatted document with speaker labels and timestamps, ready to share or archive.

Transcript excerpt (speaker-labeled, timestamped)

00:00:04
Host:Welcome back to Field Notes. Today we’re talking near-infrared sensing on the factory floor.
00:00:11
Guest:Thanks for having me — it’s a topic I could talk about all day.
00:00:16
Host:Let’s start simple. What problem does it actually solve for a plant manager?
00:00:23
Guest:Quality checks that used to take a lab an hour now happen in seconds, right on the line.
00:00:31
Host:And that changes the economics of the whole operation.
00:00:35
Guest:Exactly. You catch a bad batch before it’s packaged, not after.
Fictional conversation for demonstration. Format matches CloviTranscribe output — HH:MM:SS timestamps with speaker labels — but the content is invented, not a real recording.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the difference between CloviTranscribe and real-time speech tools?
Real-time tools focus on short-form, browser-recorded speech-to-text. CloviTranscribe is optimized for longer-form media — meeting recordings, interview archives, and video — with batch processing, speaker diarization, and deeper summarization.
Does CloviTranscribe generate meeting summaries?
Yes. AI-generated summaries extract key decisions, action items, open questions, and topic sections from your transcript, delivered alongside the full text automatically.
Can I transcribe video files?
Yes. CloviTranscribe extracts the audio track from video files such as MP4, MOV, MKV, and AVI, and transcribes from that audio. The original video is never modified — only the audio is processed.
How does full-text search work across transcripts?
Every completed transcript is indexed. Search for any phrase, name, or keyword and results show matching excerpts with timestamp links, so you can jump straight to the relevant moment.
Can I use CloviTranscribe via API?
Yes. The REST API accepts media URLs and returns job IDs. Poll for completion or use HMAC-signed webhooks to receive transcript and summary data in your own application automatically.
