How it works

Audio in, transcript out.

  1. 01

    Add your audio

    Drop an MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, AAC or OGG file, up to 5 GB. You can also record in your browser or paste a link.

  2. 02

    Let it transcribe

    We detect the language and, if you turn it on, who spoke when. An hour of audio is usually ready in about five minutes on Unlimited.

  3. 03

    Fix and export

    Play the audio as you read, fix a word, rename speakers, then download DOCX, PDF, TXT or SRT. Or share a read-only link.

What you get

More than a text file, a transcript you can work with.

  • Speaker labels

    Turn them on to see who said what. Rename a speaker once and it changes everywhere, or move a line to another speaker.

  • Timestamps

    Every line is timed, so you can jump from a quote to the exact moment in the audio. Export with or without timestamps.

  • Language detection

    NiceScribe detects the language for you, or you can pick it. Dozens of languages work, and you can have the transcript translated to English as it’s made.

  • An editor that plays along

    The audio plays as you read, so fixing a name or a number takes seconds. Search across everything you’ve transcribed.

Private by default

Files are encrypted in transit and at rest, and never used to train AI models. Delete a file any time and it leaves your library at once.

Questions

Which audio formats can I transcribe?

MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, AAC and OGG, up to 5 GB per file. Video files work too: NiceScribe transcribes their audio.

How long does audio take to transcribe?

An hour of audio is usually ready in about five minutes on Unlimited, and a little longer on Free. We email you when long files finish.

How long can the audio be?

Up to 30 minutes on Free and 10 hours on Unlimited. Files can be up to 5 GB on both plans.

Can it tell speakers apart?

Yes. Turn on speaker labels before you start and NiceScribe works out who spoke when. Tell it how many people spoke for cleaner labels, then rename them afterwards.

Can I try it without paying?

Yes. Free covers 3 files a day, up to 30 minutes each, with speaker labels, timestamps and every export format. Unlimited is $10 a month, billed yearly.
