# AI Transcript, Summary, and Chapters After You Share

After a RecBaba Share, generate a transcript on Pro+. Summary and chapters are Pro and Max, metered in AI minutes — not on record or export.

> **Key takeaway:** Upload does not auto-queue a transcript. Generate AI after Share on Pro+. Summary and chapters need a ready transcript and are Pro/Max. Editor captions stay on-device and are a different tool.

A private share is easier to watch when the page has a summary, chapter marks, and a searchable transcript. RecBaba will not invent those while you record. Clicking Share uploads the file. Generate AI is a later button. That split is the product: capture stays local; speech-to-text runs only when you ask, on a file you already chose to host.

## What it costs in AI minutes

Both transcript and insights draw from a monthly allowance: 100 minutes on Pro, 400 on Max. Generating a transcript uses the recording length in minutes (minimum one). Summary and chapters each use two minutes. Used minutes are not refunded if a job fails. Camera and Camera Bubble are unrelated — those stay free.

| Artifact | When it runs | Plan |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Transcript | After Share, Generate AI | Pro+ (Cloud Storage) |
| Summary | After a READY transcript | Pro and Max |
| Chapters | After a READY transcript | Pro and Max |
| Editor captions | Local editor, no upload | Pro and Max |

*Gating matches the live catalog, not a slogan.*

## What viewers see

The share page can show Overview, Chapters, and Transcript unless you turn the card off for that link. Viewers can hide it for the session. Chapters and transcript lines seek the video. A ready transcript stays visible to viewers even if the owner later drops to a plan without new AI generation.

*Share is the upload. Generate AI is the next, optional step on that hosted file.*

> **Audio leaves only then:** Generate AI sends extracted audio from the uploaded original to a speech-to-text provider. Record, trim, export, and on-device captions do not.
