Miles explains

3 of 6 in range is honest, not perfect. The biggest miss was October 2026 (-24%), the kind of month when one big site jumps. That’s why the range is wide.

Visits are down on a year ago (-54%), and the last three months were lower than the three before. Name searches are up (+4% since October 2025). Recent months are getting weaker, and the forecast follows them.

-6.3% a month; the forecast carries part of the slope, fading

Miles explains

Big green or red bars are usually one site winning or losing a Google ranking, not the whole market moving. What I watch is the last three months against the three before: -30%.

November is usually a quieter month than average (1% below) for searches for “ai transcription”. That pattern helps the forecast this month, so it is used.

Yes: average miss 12.3% as chosen, 10.4% without the pattern, 9.7% always with it

Miles explains

I tested the calendar and it helped (9.7% average miss with it, 10.4% without), so it’s in this month’s numbers.

About 11M visits in November 2026, down 9% on October 2026. The likely range is 9.1M to 12M.

By May 2027 the forecast expects about 9,408,673 visits a month, -19% on the 11,655,832 of October 2026, so the next six months look like a slide.

The forecast expects Maestra AI (+5%) and Uniscribe (+4%) to rise, and VEED (-7%), Kapwing (-10%), Notta (-11%), Rev (-8%), Riverside (-17%) and Otter (-8%) to fall; the rest are within 3% of October 2026. Single sites are harder to forecast than the whole market, so their ranges are wider.

Together the ten come to 10,086,321, inside the market forecast of 10,560,893 for every tracked site.

Miles explains

Maestra AI has the biggest expected rise (+5%). Single sites are much harder to call than the whole market, so read these as direction, not promises.

What could knock November 2026 off course:

• A big site winning or losing a page-one position for “ai transcription”.
• A Google update.
• A site going offline.
• A news story that spikes interest for a week and then fades.

None of these are in the numbers until they happen, which is why the range exists.
