Most transcription tools are cloud services. That means uploading files, waiting for processing, paying per minute, and trusting someone else with your audio.
Scribe works differently:
Powered by OpenAI's Whisper large-v3 speech recognition model, the same one used by professional transcription services, running entirely on your machine.
English, Chinese, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Korean, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Turkish, Arabic
Most European, East Asian, and South Asian languages
Less common languages may have reduced accuracy
Audio quality matters. Clean recordings (podcasts, lectures, interviews) give the best results. Heavy background music or overlapping speech will reduce accuracy.
A GPU makes a huge difference in processing speed.
Optional denoise and vocal isolation as a pre-processing step. Clean up noisy audio before transcription for better accuracy.
Drop an entire folder. Scribe processes every file and saves subtitles alongside the originals. No more dragging files one at a time.
