For a meeting or interview, turn on speaker recognition at upload so the transcript is split by person instead of one unlabeled block. If the speech is not English and you need an English draft, transcribe straight into English rather than making a second pass later. Turn on speech enhancement only when the audio is very poor. The site treats that as a last resort, and it adds processing time. Use the balanced mode for clear everyday recordings, and the most accurate mode when the draft needs to be finer. Export a document, plain text, or captions as needed. The free tier is for trying short files. Long files and bulk export belong on the paid tier. It fits people who have to write up meetings, interviews, podcasts, and course videos.
TurboScribe turns audio and video into text. The site says it is built by Leif. You upload common audio or video files, or submit a video-site link. Transcription uses Whisper, and the upload step can label speakers, transcribe the original language straight into English, or enhance speech when the recording is very noisy. Transcripts export as documents, plain text, spreadsheets, and captions. The free tier allows three transcripts a day, with a shorter limit per file, one file at a time, and a lower queue priority. Paid use allows much longer files, many files at once, bulk export, and translation of transcripts or captions into other languages. Files and transcripts are stored encrypted, and an account cannot be shared.
Difficulty: Beginner Friendly
Speaker-labeled transcripts
Turn on speaker recognition at upload so each section of the transcript is labeled with who is speaking, which suits meetings, interviews, and podcasts.
Transcribe straight into English
An upload setting can transcribe speech from any language straight into English, and transcripts or captions can also be translated afterward.
Two transcription modes
The balanced mode is Dolphin and the most accurate mode is Whale. Pick one at upload based on how fine the draft needs to be.
Captions and document export
Transcripts download as documents, portable documents, plain text, spreadsheets, and the two common timed caption formats.
Split meeting notes by speaker
Upload a meeting recording with speaker recognition on, then turn the speaker-split transcript into action items.
Caption a course video
A course author uploads a video, exports a caption file, or transcribes the original speech straight into English captions.
Archive a long interview
An interviewer sends a long recording through the paid tier and exports a document instead of typing it line by line.
The site lists common audio and video formats and also accepts links from video sites. The free tier is about half an hour per file, one file at a time. The paid tier allows a file of up to ten hours and several gigabytes, with many files in one batch. Speaker recognition and speech enhancement are both under more settings at upload. Enhancement is recommended only for very poor audio.
Yes. The translate tool on a transcript lets you pick a language and file format, then download a translated transcript or captions. Upload can also transcribe any language straight into English. Export formats include documents, portable documents, plain text, spreadsheets, and two caption types. The paid tier can bulk-export several files. Direct-to-English transcription suits people who need an English draft from the start.
The free tier is three transcripts a day with no card required, but each file is shorter, only one file uploads at a time, and the queue priority is lower. The paid tier does not cap ordinary volume by a total-hour quota, allows longer files and many uploads at once, and includes translation, bulk export, and every transcription mode. The site says a login cannot be shared. The daily three files are for trying short recordings, and the paid tier is for long audio and caption batches. Fees can change, so use the price shown on the site.
