ViSearch review
A pay-as-you-go search layer for transcripts, meaning, visuals, and learning content.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ViSearch turns uploaded videos, audio files, and YouTube links into searchable media. It is aimed at content creators, educators, course creators, teams, organizations, and media groups that need to find information across recorded content. Search covers full text and meaning, while transcripts include speaker labels and can be exported as SRT or VTT subtitles. The product is available through the web and API, with cloud and self-hosted deployment options.
Pricing is based on processed minutes. Basic costs $0.09 per minute and includes full-text search, AI transcripts with speaker labels, and subtitle generation. Pro costs $0.15 per minute and adds semantic search, interactive timestamped chapters, smart summaries, and automatically generated quizzes. Visual costs $0.25 per minute and adds searches for objects, scenes, on-screen text, uploaded images, faces, and speakers across the library. A limited allowance of up to 20 minutes can be processed without a card, while the published plans remain usage-based rather than subscription tiers.
ViSearch is a strong fit when media discovery, learning content, or searchable archives are central requirements. Its combination of transcripts, semantic search, visual analysis, face and speaker search, and image queries gives it a broad search scope. Integrations with YouTube, LMS platforms, iFrame embeds, and the REST API support both direct use and integration into other experiences. Teams that need a narrower text-search workflow may find the higher-tier visual capabilities unnecessary, while organizations wanting tighter control can consider the self-hosted deployment option. GDPR support and a 14-day refund period add useful purchasing context.
