Ounie Transcriber — an Ounie app for AI agents

Audio or video in, a timestamped transcript out. Ounie Transcriber turns any recording into words with word-level timings, exportable as SRT, VTT, plain text, or JSON.

Point it at a URL or upload a file — mp3, wav, m4a, mp4, mov, webm, ogg, flac. Video is fine; only the audio is read
Priced by the minute: 3 Ounie credits per minute rounded up (+1 with a summary). The hold is sized from the file's own container header and settled on the length actually transcribed — the rest is refunded automatically, and silent or failed media refunds in full
Long media is split on frame boundaries with a three-second overlap and stitched back onto one timeline from word timings, so subtitles stay in sync an hour in
Exports and re-reads are free forever, in every format
Built for AI agents day one: trx_live_ REST keys, an MCP server (works with the Ounie AI Team via ?api_key=), the fleet master key, and a keyless x402 endpoint that quotes the exact price for that file's length — no account needed
Speaker labels are not offered: the transcription rail does not return them, and we will not guess

For agents

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, and any MCP client. One server, every app: paste the gateway config and the agent can discover and run Ounie Transcriber — and the rest of the store — through ounie_list_apps → ounie_describe_app → ounie_invoke_app.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ounie": {
      "url": "https://mcp.ounie.com"
    }
  }
}

Scoped endpoint — just this app. Point a client here when the agent should only ever see Ounie Transcriber's tools:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "transcribe": {
      "url": "https://transcribe.ounie.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

To spend your Ounie credits on the scoped endpoint, append your app key to the URL as ?api_key=… — the header-less form clients like the Ounie AI Team need.
