Transcribe: transcribe audio/interviews fast!

*** 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.

***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.

Our customers use Transcribe in 3 different ways:

1. **NEW** Convert audio to text with automatic transcription

If you have clear audio/video recordings in one of these languages: English, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish? Our state-of-the-art machine transcription converts your audio to text in minutes, with close to 90% accuracy.

2. Convert your speech to text via fast & accurate dictation

Put on your headphones, load your audio, slow it down and speak out what you hear. It's that simple. Our dictation engine will convert your speech to text on the fly. This is way faster than typing. We support English, Spanish, French, Hindi and almost all other European & Asian languages. This is helpful if your audio/video has a lot of background noise or interruptions.

3. Slow down audio & transcribe fast using our tightly integrated player & editor

When all else fails and you have to transcribe manually, you can still save time using our workflow tools. You can slow down your audio, auto-loop it, use the built-in text-expander or even use a foot pedal. This is still way faster than using a traditional Media Player and a Word processor.
