Kenning's take

What it does

A web service that turns audio and video into transcripts and subtitles with AI, in many languages, and can translate them. Users upload a file or record a meeting, edit the text and subtitles in the browser, and export them; human proofreading can be ordered for higher accuracy.

  • AI transcription of audio and video
  • automatic subtitles with an editor and SRT export
  • translation of transcripts and subtitles
  • meeting recording and AI notes
  • AI Chat about uploaded files
  • optional human proofreading

Who it suits. Journalists, researchers, video makers and teams who need transcripts or subtitles without doing them by hand.
