Built for Teams That Transcribe at Scale

Multi-Engine AI

Fluen regularly benchmarks five leading speech engines (ElevenLabs, Speechmatics, Deepgram, AssemblyAI, and OpenAI) and routes each language to the one that handles it best. Speakers switch languages? Turn on Multi-language audio at upload.

Speaker Recognition

Turn on speaker labels at upload and Fluen detects every distinct voice in interviews, podcasts, and multi-person recordings.

Powered by an industry-leading speaker recognition model.

Batch Processing

“We produce around 40 hrs of video content per month and used to outsource all the transcription. Switched to Fluen about 6 months ago and honestly havent looked back. The batch upload alone saves us a full day of work. Quality is solid too, we barely have to touch the output.”
MR Berlin, Germany
“Our L&D team records all internal trainings and we need proper transcripts for compliance. Before Fluen we had someone doing it manually which took forever. Now its basically automated, the punctuation is there, paragraphs are clean. Wish we'd found it sooner tbh.”
AH Manchester, UK
“I run a small podcast network and we need transcripts for show notes, SEO, all of that. Tried a bunch of tools before this one. Most give you a wall of text with no punctation and you spend more time fixing it than just typing it out. Fluen actually gets it right, paragraphs and everything.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the video transcription?

Fluen achieves up to 99.4% accuracy. We regularly benchmark five leading speech engines and route each language to the one that handles it best, so you're not locked into a single AI. Transcripts include proper punctuation, capitalization, and paragraph breaks.

What video formats can I upload?

Fluen supports all major video formats including MP4, MOV, MKV, and AVI, as well as audio formats like MP3, WAV, M4A, and FLAC. You can also import files from Google Drive or Dropbox. If you already have subtitle files, paid plans let you import SRT files during the review step, for one video or in bulk.

Can I transcribe multiple videos at once?

Yes. On paid plans you can upload up to 50 files at a time, or import them from Google Drive or Dropbox, and they'll be queued and transcribed in the background. You'll be notified as each transcript is ready for review, and Zapier or our API can automate new uploads. This is ideal for teams processing content libraries, meeting archives, or large video catalogs.

Does Fluen detect different speakers?

Yes. Speaker labels are off by default: turn them on when you upload, or set them as a workspace default, and Fluen detects every distinct voice in your file using an industry-leading speaker recognition model. Choose name labels or classic dash markers. Transcripts are grouped into paragraphs by speaker, and subtitle files show names as [Speaker Name]. You can rename or reassign speakers in the editor before exporting. Especially useful for interviews, podcasts, meetings, and panel discussions.

What export formats are available?

You can export your transcript as a TXT, Word, or PDF document, grouped into paragraphs by speaker when speaker labels are on, or as subtitles in 7 formats, including SRT (with timestamps) and WebVTT (for web and HTML5 video). If you need translations, you can continue directly from your transcript without re-uploading. Exports are included in paid plans.

How fast is the transcription?

Most files are processed in minutes. A 60-minute video typically takes 3–5 minutes to transcribe. Processing time depends on file length, audio quality, and the AI engine selected. You'll be notified as soon as your transcript is ready for review.

Can I also get subtitles or translations from my transcript?

Absolutely. Once your transcript is ready, you can generate perfectly timed subtitles or translate into 50+ languages — all from the same platform, with no need to re-upload your file. Learn more about subtitle generation →

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan lets you transcribe and translate 3 files (up to 90 minutes each) and review the results in the editor, no credit card required. Downloading transcripts or subtitles, exporting video and importing your own SRT files require a paid plan. See pricing →
