About TurboScribe's Language Learning Transcription Tool

TurboScribe is a free, browser-based tool that converts audio and video to text in seconds. Powered by Whisper and accelerated by GPUs, it delivers fast, accurate speech-to-text without downloads or sign-ups. Use it for podcasts, lectures, team calls, interviews, or voice notes.

Upload by dragging and dropping files, picking from your computer, recording directly from your mic for dictation, or pasting a web link (including YouTube). Transcribe files up to 5 GB and 10 hours. TurboScribe supports MP3, MP4, M4A, MOV, AAC, WAV, OGG, OPUS, MPEG, WMA, WMV, and more.

Get precise transcripts in 100+ languages—English, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Swedish, Arabic, and others—and translate them into 134+ languages. Export your text as DOCX, TXT, PDF, or SRT subtitles to use anywhere.

Your data stays private: files and transcripts are encrypted, only you can access them, and you can delete them anytime. Enable speaker recognition to label who said what—ideal for meetings, interviews, and multi-host shows. TurboScribe is free and built for speed, accuracy, and simplicity.
