# Kai the Scribe

Kai the Scribe turns video and audio into clean transcripts for creators (podcasters, YouTubers, course creators). The transcription tool is live again at https://www.kaithescribe.com/content/video/transcribe (Google sign-in required). The other Kai the Scribe tools (blog posts, video scripts, email campaigns, chat assistant) are paused and coming back one at a time; their buttons on this site are greyed out and do not run jobs.

## What works today

- Transcribe audio or video: https://www.kaithescribe.com/content/video/transcribe (upload a file: MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV, WEBM, up to 100 MB; or paste a public media URL; get a punctuated transcript with optional speaker labels rendered as "Speaker 1: ..." paragraphs; copy it or download it as .txt).
- Transcribe from an agent or script: POST https://www.kaithescribe.com/api/v1/transcribe/ with Authorization: Bearer kts_live_... (multipart "file" under 4.5 MB, or JSON {"url": "https://..."} for any size; optional "diarize": true and "language"). Returns {transcript, formattedTranscript, words, durationSeconds, language, persisted}. GET https://www.kaithescribe.com/api/v1/me/ returns the plan and minutes remaining. Keys are created by a signed-in person on the transcribe page under "API keys" (up to 5 active, shown once, SHA-256 stored). 30 requests per hour per key. Docs: https://www.kaithescribe.com/docs/api/. Agent skill file: https://www.kaithescribe.com/skills/kaithescribe-transcribe.skill (plain markdown at https://www.kaithescribe.com/skills/kaithescribe-transcribe/SKILL.md).

## Pricing

- Free: 60 minutes of audio per calendar month, no card required. Sign in with Google and transcribe. The same minutes cover the website and the API.
- Pro: $19 per month, unlimited transcripts, billed by Stripe, cancel any time from the billing portal. The API returns 402 with an upgradeUrl when free minutes are used up; a person upgrades, a key cannot.
- Checkout: https://www.kaithescribe.com/#pricing (the "Start Pro" button signs you in with Google, then opens Stripe Checkout via POST https://www.kaithescribe.com/api/stripe/checkout).
