TurboScribe Free

Turboscribe unlimited, $10 / month.

I rarely leave testimonials, but this app 100% deserved one in my books. TurboScribe has been such a game-changer for me. I used to pick and choose what to transcribe due to time it took to upload BUT mostly due to cost. I'm transcribing all sorts of business interactions—meetings, calls, videos, you name it.

Since switching to TurboScribe - I transcribe everything without thinking . Large numbers of small files or several HUGE files it handles it. It saved me money, enabled me to offer more services and a TON of time. My once a year review is done, but I feel Turboscribe deserves is hands down.

I formerly had students transcribe audios (8 hrs. work for 1 hr. audio). Your program is literally saving me thousands of hours . The accuracy is actually better than when I had human help doing it. Yours is an incredibly useful piece of software.

Of all the services we tested, TurboScribe offers the best results. Its most meticulous AI model generated a clear and accurate text... Equally reliable, the free version allows up to three transcriptions per day of thirty minutes each.

I used this for one of my university assessments today and it's absolutely killer . Hope your business grows because it's excellent . We even had three different accents in our group and your service straight up nailed it.

Yesterday I stumbled upon ingenious tool: https://turboscribe.ai

Subtitles for videos in over 130 languages in super quality. So all my future videos will have at least English subtitles. And also some older videos.

For example, my #ChatGPT course is getting an upgrade where I'm adding English subtitles to all videos.

I've been searching for what seems like centuries, for a piece of transcription software that delivers with accuracy! TurboScribe IS THAT SOFTWARE.

Not only does it transcribe with amazing accuracy , it also filters out a ton of the unnecessary noise associated with pauses in audio. On top of that, it performs to perfection with the built in ChatGPT prompts (this was another area I was previously struggling with).

I used to farm out transcripts to be completed manually since I was unable to find an AI solution that met my needs. Less than 1 month into my subscription and I've done away with farming out transcriptions completely; it's much more cost effective and efficient to do them in house with TurboScribe. Keep up the great work!

Easily the best AI transcription service I've used. Intuitive, quick, and super helpful features for anyone with a high volume workload.
