Amberscript and Dailies both put words on video, at two different moments. Amberscript, a Dutch company, is a transcription and subtitling service: you send it a finished audio or video file and get back a transcript or subtitles, made by its software or by its language professionals. Dailies starts before there is any file: it is a Chrome extension that records the call you hold on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom, then delivers up to eight vertical shorts with captions burned in, a few minutes after the call. One subtitles the video you have. The other makes the video.
Checked against Amberscript’s own site on October 1, 2026.
Dailies
For people who want the best passages of their client calls as captioned vertical shorts, with no file to prepare and nothing to edit.
Amberscript
For organisations such as media, universities and public bodies that need accurate transcripts or subtitle files of finished recordings, checked by professionals when needed.

Amberscript is a transcription and subtitling service based in Amsterdam, which combines speech-to-text software with professional language experts. You upload an audio or video file, or order work on it. Its machine-made subtitles cover more than 90 languages, at an accuracy its site puts at 90%; its human-made subtitles cover more than 18, at over 99%. A built-in editor adjusts text, timing and formats, and subtitles export as SRT, VTT or EBU-STL files; its human-made service can also deliver them as video. For files you export yourself, its FAQ explains that you burn the subtitles onto your video with video-editing software. Amberscript also offers human transcription, translated subtitles, SDH captions and media localisation. French and Canadian French are among its languages, and its site exists in French. It links to a separate product, Amber Notes, announced as a note-taker that records, transcribes and summarises meetings; we could not read its page beyond its title, so this comparison covers the transcription and subtitling service.
Amberscript works on a recording that exists: you upload the file, or order a transcript or subtitles for it. Its transcription and subtitling service, as its pages describe it, records no call. Dailies starts before there is a file: it records the call tab, your microphone and your webcam while you talk on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom, in Chrome. No bot joins the call.
Amberscript subtitles the video you give it and hands back a subtitle file or, with its human-made service, a subtitled video. We found no feature that picks passages or cuts clips on the pages we read. Dailies picks up to eight passages per call by itself, cuts silences, filler words and false starts, and reframes each short in 9:16 on whoever speaks.
For subtitles you export yourself as SRT, VTT or EBU-STL, Amberscript’s FAQ says you burn them onto your video with video-editing software; its human-made service can deliver subtitles as video. We found no animated caption styles on the pages we read. Dailies burns animated captions into every short, in one of fifteen styles, with a line above it that says which question the short answers.
Transcripts and subtitles of the audio and video files you upload, made by professionals when accuracy matters, in dozens of languages, with translated subtitles, SDH captions and formats such as VTT and EBU-STL. Dailies does none of that: it does not work on a file you upload, writes no notes and no summaries, and only makes shorts from the calls it records in Chrome, in French, in English or in both mixed.
Not its transcription and subtitling service, which works on audio or video files you upload. Amberscript’s site links to a separate product, Amber Notes, announced as recording, transcribing and summarising meetings; we could not read how it records. Dailies records calls on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Zoom’s web client from Chrome.
Its human-made subtitle service can deliver subtitles as video. For subtitles you export yourself as SRT, VTT or EBU-STL files, its FAQ says you burn them onto your video with video-editing software. Dailies burns animated captions into each short it delivers.
We found no clip feature on the Amberscript pages we read: it delivers transcripts and subtitles for the file you send. Dailies delivers up to eight vertical 9:16 shorts per call, each cut from one of its best passages and captioned.
No. Dailies does not work on a file you upload: it makes shorts from the calls it records in Chrome, and nothing else. If you need a transcript or subtitles for a video that already exists, a service such as Amberscript is the right kind of tool.
Add Dailies to Chrome, record the call you were going to have anyway, and watch its shorts a few minutes after you hang up.
