What does Verbato do?
Verbato turns a recording into the finished document you need — not just a transcript. You describe a document once, its sections and how it's written, and every recording you send after that comes back that way: a report, show notes, an interview Q&A, meeting minutes. Drop a file, record in your browser, or paste a link.
Is there a tool that lets me define my own document format once and fills it from every recording?
Yes — that's what Verbato is built for. You set up a project type once (a template for the sections, plus instructions for how it reads and writes), and every recording after that fills it. Most tools hand you a fixed set of outputs; Verbato makes the document you defined.
Can't I just use ChatGPT for this?
You can paste one transcript and prompt it once. The difference is every-time versus one-time: Verbato remembers your document and applies it to every recording, keeps a verbatim transcript beside it so you can check the work, saves each version when you edit, and can send the result back to Telegram or your inbox. It's the repeatable version of what you'd otherwise redo by hand, every time.
How accurate is it?
Paid plans transcribe in 99+ languages. Just as important, the verbatim transcript sits right next to your document, so you can check anything against what was actually said. You sign nothing you haven't verified.
What happens to my recording?
By default it's deleted after 7 days. You can keep a project longer when you need to, and every deletion writes you a receipt you can see. Your recordings are never used to train AI models.
How long does it take?
A one-hour recording is usually ready in a few minutes — minutes, not seconds. You can close the tab; we'll notify you when it's done, and if it arrived by Telegram or email, the result comes back there.
What can I send it?
Audio or video — upload a file, record in your browser, or paste a link from YouTube, Google Drive, Dropbox, Vimeo and many more. You can also forward audio by Telegram or email.
What's the catch with the free plan?
None hidden in the documents. Free is the whole product — every capability and every export format — on a smaller monthly amount of audio, with limits you'll see before you reach them. No card to start.
Do I have to set anything up before my first recording?
No. When you create your account, Verbato asks what kind of work you do, shows you a finished example of the document that fits, and lets you change it before you keep it — that becomes your default. If you only want transcripts, say so and skip it.
Can it write a report, session note, or show notes in my format?
Yes. Start from a ready-made world if one fits, or name your document and the assistant writes an example — you tell it what's wrong, in plain words, until it's right. From then on, every recording comes back in your format.
Does it work in Spanish?
Yes — Verbato works in English and Spanish from the free plan, and in 99+ languages on paid plans. Documents come back in the language you need.
