VIDTREO
Video Recording for the Modern Web
What it does
Most video recording APIs charge you per minute, per egress, per transcode — then you still need separate vendors for transcription and storage. VIDTREO bundles everything into one SDK at $0.01/min: recording, transcoding, AI transcription & summaries, and cloud storage. No egress fees. No monthly minimums. 10 lines of code to integrate. React, vanilla JS, or Web Components. 62% cheaper than Ziggeo, 90% cheaper than Addpipe. Free tier included.

Descript wanted $24/mo, I built an open-source alternative in a weekendJul 2026 · github.com · ▲39Descript costs $24/mo, so I built this over a single weekend with Fable! Introducing Rescript: edit videos by simply editing the transcript text. Drop in a video and it is transcribed locally with per-word timestamps and speaker labels. Delete words in the transcript and the corresponding clip is cut from the video. Runs fully in the browser: Local, free, offline and open source. → Github https://github.com/wassgha/rescript → App https://wassgha.github.io/rescript

I built Whispering because I believe transcription is too fundamental a tool to be locked behind paywalls. It's a cross-platform desktop and web transcription app that turns speech into text with a keyboard shortcut, among other things. The app lets you bring your own API key (OpenAI, Groq, etc.) and make direct calls. If you want complete privacy, it also supports local transcription. Either way, your audio never goes through any middleman servers. It's super lightweight (~22MB), built with Svelte 5 and Tauri, and works on Mac, Windows, and Linux. I've been using it daily for the past few…
- IBI built a tool to replace capcut audio transcription2025 · meetcosmos.com · ▲26
I originally added this to my site to speed up my video editing process. Last year I started a youtube channel and for some of my longer videos it's annoying to rely on youtube or capcut to transcribe when Whisper is open source. Capcut also recently updated their T&Cs to say they own your content if you use their app, so I cancelled my subscription. Another use-case I have is recording my claude prompts as audio, transcribing them, and then pasting them into my terminal. I mostly work on the CLI (claude, ffmpeg, whisper), but I wanted to make a browser version. Not reinventing the wheel…
