Here is the project update. We are moving the website launch to September twenty-fourth so we have time to test the checkout. Maya will finish the checkout tests by September eighteenth. Jordan will update the help article by September twenty-first. We have not approved an advertising budget yet. At our next meeting, we need to review the test results and decide whether the launch is ready.

Next meeting: Review test results and decide whether the launch is ready.
Upload the file on this page, pick the language (or leave it on auto-detect), and wait: it usually takes about 15–30% of the recording's length. You get the full transcript and an AI summary, free, with no account and no watermark. You can transcribe up to 5 files per day (200MB each). For unlimited recording and transcription, the Wave app has a free plan and paid plans from $80 a year or $15 a month.
It's AI transcription. A speech recognition model turns your audio into a transcript automatically, with no human transcriber involved, which is why it's free and done in minutes. AI also writes the summary, with key points and action items, in the same language as the recording.
Yes. Upload an mp4, mov, or webm file and the tool transcribes the video's audio track. Any common audio format works too: m4a, mp3, wav, aac, ogg, and flac. You can download the transcript as a .txt file or as SRT or VTT subtitles.
Yes. The transcript labels each speaker automatically (Speaker A, Speaker B, …) with timestamps, so you can follow who said what.
You can choose from 15 languages — including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and Chinese — or let the tool detect the language automatically. The AI summary is written in the same language as the recording.
Your file is uploaded to temporary storage and transcribed. We may then keep a private copy of the audio and transcript to improve Wave's speech recognition. They are never published. Please don't upload recordings you aren't comfortable sharing with us.
