Frequently asked about Valamis
How much does Valamis cost?
Valamis does not publish a self-serve price — it is quoted by the vendor on contact. Expect an enterprise-style agreement rather than a card-and-go signup.
Does Valamis work on Mac, Windows and Linux?
Valamis runs in the browser, so it works on any desktop OS with a modern browser, and on phones and tablets.
How do I get started with Valamis?
There is nothing to install — Valamis is used in the browser. Create an account on the vendor's site and upload or connect your audio.
What are the limitations of Valamis?
Captioning depends on uploaded video and integrations.
Who is Valamis best for?
European enterprises adopting an LXP with rich xAPI analytics and captioned content.

No. Valamis is a proprietary product. If you need source you can read and run yourself, the open-source tools in this directory are the place to look.
Is there a Valamis desktop app?
No — Valamis is browser-only. There is nothing to install and nothing runs on your machine.
What kind of tool is Valamis?

What are the alternatives to Valamis?
There is a side-by-side page at /tools/valamis-alternatives comparing Valamis with the closest tools in the same category on price, platform and features.
Can I automate Valamis-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 Valamis?
Valamis 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 Valamis?
$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 Valamis 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.
