Files and meetings

Audio, video and meeting transcription on your computer

Drag a recording of an interview, meeting or lecture into the window or choose “Transcribe file…”. The text appears next to the original file. Transcription runs locally, and SAYRIL does not send the file to the internet. You do not pay per minute: transcription and meeting recording are included in Pro and Corporate Pro.

For the first 72 hours, transcription and meeting recording work without a purchase.

Audio and video

Up to 3 hours of audio, a file queue, one job at a time
Tested: WAV, MP3, M4A/AAC, WMA and MP4 via the Windows system decoder
On Linux, files other than WAV are read by a system decoder, if one is installed
Output in TXT, SRT and VTT; up to 42 characters per subtitle line, no more than two lines
Folder to transcribe: new recordings are queued automatically (optional)

Meeting recording

Microphone and computer audio in one file, up to 4 hours
On Linux, meeting recording captures only the microphone, without computer audio
The recording banner is visible the whole time; it cannot be hidden
On first launch, the program reminds you to get the participants' consent
After you stop, the recording is transcribed to TXT and SRT

Speaker separation

Lines are labeled “Speaker 1, 2…”; the program detects the number of speakers on its own, or you set it from 2 to 8. Voices are only told apart: the program does not recognize people by voice, and no voiceprints are written to disk.

Other formatsFLAC, OGG/Opus, MOV, MKV, AVI and WEBM are listed in the file dialog, but we have not checked whether Windows on your computer can read them. On Windows N without the Media Feature Pack, only WAV opens.
