Meeting notes that write themselves
Fireflies joins a call, records it, and hands back a transcript and a summary with the action items pulled out, which turns a sponsor call into a record you can search later. The free plan gives unlimited transcription and an API, which is unusually generous. Storage is what it rations, and the free tier's 400 minutes covers a few weeks at most.

Unlimited transcription for ten dollars
TurboScribe transcribes without counting minutes, which is unusual at this price and is the whole argument for it. A single file can run to ten hours and fifty can be queued at once. Three files a day are free, so the sensible move is to transcribe three of your own and judge the accuracy before paying anybody, here or elsewhere.
Our note
For volume this is the cheapest credible option here by a wide margin. When the work is editing rather than transcribing, Descript is a different product and worth the difference in price.
