Build an AI audio transcription web app with these features:

1. Audio upload: Drag and drop audio files (MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4) up to 2 hours long. Support batch upload for multiple files.

2. AI transcription: Convert speech to text with high accuracy using OpenAI Whisper API or equivalent. Support 30+ languages with automatic language detection.

3. Speaker identification: Automatically detect and label different speakers (Speaker 1, Speaker 2, etc.). Let users rename speakers after transcription.

4. Timestamped transcript: Full transcript with paragraph-level timestamps. Click any paragraph to jump to that point in the audio player.

5. AI summary and key points: After transcription, generate a concise summary, list of key points, and action items extracted from the conversation.

6. Edit and correct: Inline transcript editor so users can fix errors, merge paragraphs, and add notes. Changes save automatically.

7. Export options: Export transcript as TXT, SRT (subtitles), PDF, or Markdown. Copy to clipboard for quick sharing.

8. Search and highlight: Full-text search across transcripts. Highlight and tag important sections.

9. Transcript library: Dashboard showing all transcribed files with search, filter by date, and quick preview.

10. Collaboration: Share transcript links with team members. Optional comment threads on specific transcript sections.

Use a clean, document-focused UI. The transcript editor should feel like a word processor, not a raw text dump. Audio player synced with transcript scrolling.

    FAQ

    Can AI build Yes, AI Can Build This: AI Audio Transcription Tool?

    AI can build an audio transcription tool very effectively. The core transcription uses the OpenAI Whisper API, which is well-documented and returns accurate results with timestamps. Speaker identification is available via diarization APIs. The web UI (upload, editor, export, library) is standard CRUD with file handling. AI summaries and key points are strong LLM use cases. The main consideration is file size handling for long audio, but chunked upload and async processing handle this well. This is a straightforward, high-value build that AI app builders handle excellently.
