Powered by Whisper and GPU acceleration, it delivers high-quality results in 100+ languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Dutch, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Arabic, and Swedish.

Getting started is easy: drag and drop a file, click Browse to upload, or hit Record to capture dictation from your mic. You can also paste a URL to transcribe links from the web, including YouTube.

Once transcribed, export your text as DOCX, TXT, PDF, or SRT subtitles and use it anywhere. Add speaker labels for clear diarization, and translate transcripts into 134+ languages with one click. Your data stays private: files and transcripts are encrypted, only you can access them, and you can delete anything at any time. TurboScribe is fast, accurate, and free.
