## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. Amberscript turns audio and video into transcripts and subtitles, by machine in minutes or by human transcribers at a per-minute price. Its plans are priced in euros, nothing is free, and the meeting notetaker, Amber Notes, has no price on the plans page.

- **Value for money: C.** €19 a month for 5 hours of machine transcription, billed monthly, with no dollar list found. Human transcripts start at €1.85 a minute, so costs climb fast.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan or trial is listed anywhere on the pages read, so you pay from the first use.
- **Features: C.** Machine transcripts in 90+ languages, human-reviewed ones, subtitle formats and an API. The meeting notetaker, Amber Notes, is new and unpriced here, so meeting notes are the thinnest part.
- **Ease of use: B.** No store rating on record. You upload a file, get a transcript in minutes and edit it in the browser.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with an API and a notetaker for Zoom, Teams and Google Meet.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Amberscript you would be making a bot that joins your calls and turns the talk into notes. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 61 of the 68 other AI meeting note takers grade higher. It costs $254.72 a year.

- You could not: A bot that joins your calls and turns the talk into notes.
- You could not: Speech turned into text you can trust.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
