Summary

*** Update ***

As of Oct 2018, we now support automatic transcription in select languages for well recorded audio. This has been a long-standing ask from our users and we're finally able to offer it thanks to recent advances in speech recognition research.

Prior to Oct 2018, Transcribe was an app that primarily helped make manual transcription faster and less painful with dictation and a tightly integrated editor and player. We still offer this workflow (called self-transcription) if your audio has background noise or has frequent interruptions.

Read on to find out more.

WHAT DOES IT DO? Transcribe makes transcription of audio and video recordings a breeze. If you have been struggling by switching back and forth between your audio player and word processor - Transcribe will make life much simpler for you!

Increase your productivity & save mountains of time when converting your interviews, audio notes, lectures, speeches, podcasts and any recorded speech to text.

transcription is actually horrible. Ignores most of the audio
by Austin Derrow-Pinion Austin Derrow-Pinion, 2016-09-21

I had no issues with the transcription part, the audio was good, hot keys good, quick loading files... But I hate that you have to use their text screen and can't type into google docs or anything else. I have to completely reformat everything when I'm done.
