Hoocs AI
Transcribe any audio or video in seconds, across 130 languages
About Hoocs AI
Hoocs AI is a transcription service whose specifications are aimed at people who transcribe regularly rather than occasionally. Three numbers define it: 130 languages, 23 import and export formats, and 300 free minutes. That last one is the most immediately relevant, because 300 minutes is five hours, which is enough to transcribe a real body of work rather than sample the service. Most free transcription tiers offer thirty minutes, which tells you they are a demonstration rather than something you could actually use.
The format coverage is what separates a usable transcription tool from an isolated one. Twenty-three import and export formats means the transcript arrives in whatever your editing, subtitling or documentation workflow actually consumes, rather than as a text blob you then have to convert. Input accepts MP3, MP4, M4A, MOV and WAV among others, from a file upload, a pasted link or a direct recording, that last option covering the case where you want to capture and transcribe in one step. Reported accuracy is 90% at ten times realtime speed. Pricing works out at fractions of a cent per minute, with the yearly plan at $0.0048 per minute.
Supply your audio or video by uploading a file, pasting a link, or recording directly in the browser, which covers capture as well as processing. Formats accepted include MP3, MP4, M4A, MOV and WAV. Transcription runs at around ten times realtime, so an hour of audio takes minutes rather than an hour. Language detection covers 130 languages, so multilingual material does not need to be flagged in advance. Export in whichever of the 23 supported formats your downstream workflow needs, whether that is plain text for notes, a subtitle format for video, or something a documentation system consumes. The free tier covers 300 minutes.

For anyone transcribing regularly: journalists working through interviews, researchers with recorded sessions, podcasters producing show notes, and students recording lectures. The 130 language coverage makes it relevant to multilingual work where most tools degrade sharply outside English. The extensive format support suits video editors who need subtitles in a specific format rather than plain text. The 300 free minutes are generous enough to complete a genuine project before deciding anything, which is unusual in this category.
