Why Braindump

More than raw transcription

Most tools stop at a wall of text. Braindump gives you the text - and what to do with it.

Accurate transcription

State-of-the-art speech recognition delivers clean, readable text even from noisy real-world recordings.

Summary + action items

Every transcript comes with a short AI summary and a to-do list pulled from what was actually said.

98+ languages

From English and Arabic (with regional dialects) to Ukrainian - transcribe in the language you speak.

Long recordings welcome

Lectures, meetings, podcasts - files up to 4 hours are processed reliably, even while you close the tab.

Any common format

mp3, m4a, wav, aac, mp4, mov and more. If it has speech in it, we can turn it into text.

Private by default

Files are transferred encrypted and used only to generate your transcript. Your notes are visible to your account only.
