TranscribeMe

Audio and video into written transcripts

TranscribeMe turns recorded speech into text, using speech recognition alongside human transcribers. It suits people who need a transcript of an interview, meeting, research recording or other media file, rather than a general-purpose note-taking app.

Choose the kind of transcript

You can record audio in the app or submit an audio or video file. When placing an order, you can specify details such as whether to include false starts and filler words, whether there are multiple speakers, and whether the work needs a legal or medical focus. Those choices make the service more relevant to researchers and professionals with particular transcription needs.

This is an ordering tool for a transcription service, not simply a speech-to-text editor. The app is free to download, but transcription work is billed under the service’s pricing. Check the cost and requirements before confirming an order.

Where the results go

Completed transcripts are available in the app and through the web service, and are sent to your email. Available file types include Word, PDF and HTML, as well as a format compatible with NVivo. You can share transcripts and their source media with colleagues by email or text. For recordings with several speakers, the service can include speaker identification and timestamps.

What to weigh before choosing it

TranscribeMe is aimed at users who value a handled transcription process and can wait for completed work, rather than people looking only for instant, on-device captions. Its mix of automated recognition and human review is intended to produce a polished transcript, but accuracy can depend on the recording and the order details.

The app is published by TranscribeMe! in the Business category. It has a 3.29 rating from about 600 reviews and 100,000+ installs. That gives some adoption context, but the rating is a reason to read recent user feedback before relying on it for important work.
