What it is

Slang Labs ships an SDK that drops a voice-and-text assistant into mobile and web apps with support for Indian languages alongside English. The recognition layer is tuned for short commands rather than long-form dictation, which is the right shape for ecommerce, banking, and edtech voice search. Used by customers including BigBasket and Citymall. Best fit when the buyer is adding voice search and voice navigation to indian-market apps (retail, edtech, fintech). The honest caveat: sdk is task-and-intent focused, not a raw long-form transcription product. Procurement is via direct sales rather than a developer signup, so plan for a discovery call and a written proposal before the first transcript runs.

Best for: Adding voice search and voice navigation to Indian-market apps (retail, edtech, fintech).
Watch out for: SDK is task-and-intent focused, not a raw long-form transcription product.

Can I automate Slang Labs-style transcription without running it myself?

Yes. If what you want is transcripts rather than the tool itself, Whipscribe does the same job as a hosted API: submit a file or URL, poll a job id, pull the result as txt, json, srt, vtt or docx. $0.012 a minute — about $0.72 an audio hour — bought as credits that never expire. The automation recipes on this site show it wired to Drive folders, Zoom recordings, S3 buckets and no-code platforms.

How is Whipscribe different from Slang Labs?

Slang Labs is another vendor's product; Whipscribe is a per-minute transcription service. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and never used for training, and every job returns five formats plus an AI summary, quotes and topics. The first 20 minutes of any recording are transcribed free, and a pack from $6 (500 minutes) transcribes the rest and opens every export.

What does transcription cost if I use Whipscribe instead of Slang Labs?

$0.012 a minute — about $0.72 an audio hour — bought as credits that never expire. There is no subscription and no monthly minimum: a 3-hour recording is about $2.16, a thousand-hour archive is about $720 once. The first 20 minutes of any recording are transcribed free, and a pack from $6 (500 minutes) transcribes the rest and opens every export, so you can see what your recording holds before paying anything.

Where is the Slang Labs category heading?

Three things are moving across the whole speech-to-text market right now: summaries, action items and speaker insights generated on top of the transcript rather than sold separately; private, secured deployment where the audio never leaves a boundary you control; and agent access — transcription exposed as a tool that Claude, Cursor or a workflow runner can call directly. Whipscribe ships all three today: per-job insights, our own servers, and an MCP server.

Whipscribe is a hosted transcription service. If you want transcripts without running infrastructure, paste a URL or drop a file in the form below — you'll have a transcript in seconds.
