Made for real work
A clear path from recording to finished work.
Editing video by deleting words in a transcript is a genuinely clever idea, and for some workflows it is transformative. It is also a whole way of working to adopt. If what you actually need is an accurate transcript, something useful made out of it, and captions on the clip, that is a much smaller ask — and it is the one BriefVox answers.
Transcript first
Recordings come back with speaker labels and timestamps in a synced editor: click any line to hear that exact moment. Export as TXT, DOCX, SRT or VTT when the text needs to live somewhere else.
AI Notes instead of manual write-ups
One transcript becomes a short summary, detailed notes, decisions and action items, chapters with timestamps, key quotes, a follow-up email or a translation. Each note costs AI Tokens scaled to the length and complexity of what you asked for, so a one-line summary does not cost what a full business report costs.
Captions when the clip is short
The same account captions vertical video with word-level timing and 26 styles, then renders a burned-in MP4. Long-form transcription and short-form captions are the two halves of the same subscription.

Good to know
Answers before you begin.
Can I edit video by editing the transcript?+
No. BriefVox edits captions and text, not the video cut. The clip you upload is the clip you get back, with captions on it.
How accurate are the transcripts?+
Accuracy depends mostly on your audio. Clear speech and low background noise matter more than any setting — and you can correct anything in the editor before exporting.
What happens to my recordings?+
Source files are deleted automatically after 24 hours. Your transcripts and exports remain in your workspace.
