About TurboScribe's Free AI Subtitles Tool

TurboScribe delivers free AI subtitles and transcription that turn audio and video into accurate text in seconds. Use it for podcasts, meetings, interviews, lectures, or voice memos. It runs in your browser with no downloads or account required. Powered by Whisper—the most accurate and powerful AI speech-to-text technology—our GPU-accelerated engine makes audio to text fast, reliable, and online.

Get started by dragging and dropping a file or clicking Browse. You can also record from your microphone for quick dictation, or paste a web link (YouTube and more) to transcribe from the web. Upload files up to 5 GB and 10 hours in MP3, MP4, M4A, MOV, AAC, WAV, OGG, OPUS, MPEG, WMA, WMV, and other common formats. Generate transcripts and subtitles in 100+ languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Swedish, and Arabic. Export as DOCX, TXT, PDF, or SRT.

After transcribing, translate your text into 134+ languages and enable speaker recognition to label who said what—ideal for meetings, interviews, and podcasts. Your data stays private and secure: files and transcripts are encrypted, only you can access them, and you can delete them at any time.
