Turboscribe Reviews 202

I needed to get some audio recordings transcribed for legal reasons, they ranged from 9 minutes to 16 minutes.

It is important to note that this was as a FREE user which does not appear to be a cut down version but rather provides full access to all of the features, with just a limit of 3 files per day (reasonable). A paid registration provides translations and 10 hour uploads and translation to 120 languages. So you could use this service for generating movie subtitles. Not just for movies released but for your own in-house training which could help production in different languages. If you combine this with AI voices from other sites you could speed up that multilingual work. I did not see that feature but if I were Transcribe AI I would be adding that offering.

I was able to test out the site without even having to login which was great.

The process started with me uploading a video file from my phone, this was completed very quickly suggesting that Turboscribe.AI has invested in both high quality servers and high quality network infrastructure.

The site showed the progress of the upload in percentage which was helpful. Once the file was uploaded I was able to choose from a number of export options, the site allows me to choose more than one option, e.g. ,TXT, .DOCX and .PDF which it then delivers as an industry standard ZIP file.

What is a really nice touch is that it also offers the option to put timestamps into the text, I had not thought of this but it turned out to be VERY useful.

The site uses cookies which I gather lasts a few days, but if you choose to login then your uploads and transcribed will be saved.

Creating a login does not require any subscription at this stage, I think this approach is very sensible.

I am certainly going to recommend this site to friends and work colleagues.

The recordings I submitted were very clear broadcast quality recordings,I can't speak to how it would cope with an old cassette recording from the 1970's but for my purposes it was superb.

For consumers the free option would be fine for most people, the pricing is $10 a month and it was refreshing to see this was not price gouged in conversion to UK Sterling. If the product was $5 a month or had a lifetime license for individuals at $175 I think I might have bought it. I think that they could also add corporate pricing, I can see potential customers who would want 50 to 10,000 users at appropriate prices. Especially if additional features are added.

I would encourage the company to restrict the export and time stamps to free registered users so they can follow up with offers by email.

It is impossible to reach support. Even I wrote to owner of the company Leif and got answer two days later. No customer service. They never inform you before new subscription date, and never refund. If you ever have a problem, it is impossible to reach anybody.

Eine super Seite für Transkripte.
Ich hatte mehrere Datei zum Transkribieren, welche auch länger als 30 Minuten waren. Dafür habe ich mir für 20USD/Monat für einen Monat das Gesamtpaket gekauft. Direkt beim Kauf stand unter dem "Kaufen"-Button, dass man ein monatliches Abo abschließt, welches sich immer wieder verlängert, wenn man es nicht kündigt. Es steht genau da, hier wird nichts versteckt.
In den Einstellungen konnte ich ganz einfach das Abo zum nächsten Termin (also nach meinem 1 Monat, welchen ich gekauft hatte) kündigen.
Das Transkript ist super, vor allem mit der Speaker-Erkennung und den Zeitstempeln.
Außerdem war dieses Angebot für mich viel günstiger als bei anderen Anbietern, welche nach Länge der Datei abrechnen und alles extra berechnen.

A great site for transcripts.
I had several files to transcribe, some of which were longer than 30 minutes. For that, I bought the full package for $20/month for one month. Right at the time of purchase, it clearly said below the “Buy” button that you are signing up for a monthly subscription, which automatically renews unless you cancel it. It’s stated very clearly — nothing is hidden.
In the settings, I was easily able to cancel the subscription for the next billing period (so after the one month I had paid for).
The transcript quality is excellent, especially with the speaker recognition and timestamps.
Also, this offer was much cheaper for me compared to other providers that charge based on file length and add extra fees for everything.

I used this company once in May of 2025 to transcribe some videos for a volunteer project. Paid my $20 and didn't need it again. Now, in Oct, they are charging me $120, their yearly fee. 3 emails to them have gone unanswered and I've had to start a chargeback. The service was fine, but the customer service is terrible.

I need transcription for my french work, and boy did this help it was quick, accurate and efficient I really appreciate this app. THANK YOU!!!

I've been using for about a year. I'm not sure what has happened in the past 6 months but it's terrible at this point. At times there is not even any punctuation. Doesn't pick up half of what it should which I hear just fine ony end. I'm done using their service.

Tried to upload an audio file, 40 mins later it was stuck at 7% and stayed there!!! Just ridiculous and appalling. Wont use again

The paid service just gives up transcribing after the first 5-10 mins of audio content. Content looks accurate at first, but look carefully and you'll see it just "stops", then restarts much later, then stops again, and so on, leaving the vast bulk of content untranscribed.

Support did not help. Now I see from the 1 star reviews I'm going to have fun unsubscribing.

Do not waste your time or money.

1. It's not unlimited. Once you hit the limit, it's throttled wayyyyyyyyyy down and you have to just wait a few days to upload more. Do you get more credit for waiting 1 month? No. So you just have to log in all the time and hope you can transcribe what you need. It's limited to 720 hours a month.
2. It can't do more than a 10 hour file. Get our your audio editor if you need something longer.
3. Other AI can do the same for less.
4. They hope you don't look at your CC statement, they won't tell you your subscription is coming to a renewal period, they won't tell you your CC has been charged, and they won't send you a receipt.
5. It's using ChatGTP's engine, so you could just get that subscription and get a whole lot more for $10 more a month.
6. The engine screws up and will transcribe half your audio file with literally zero punctuation. You just have to redo it or have another AI fix it.

Agree with the poor/scam service comments. I have tried to cancel - sent an email last time I was billed which was ignored and now have been charged again! Logging into my account tells me I am on the free service. Next step will be to contact my bank to block them,

i cant cancel my plan, turboscribe is not accuracy，i never use Turboscribe， thats a scam

I feel really bad for the people who had bad customer service. I paid for the annual subscription. I hope there won't come a time when I have to cancel, but if I do have to cancel, I would hope that the customer service is better by then.

That being said, this software is exactly what I wanted. It transcribes really fast, and as I am a writer, this really helps with the writing process. Instead of me sitting there in Google Docs and dictating everything that I want to write, the software really helps me. It cuts down my writing time tremendously, like almost 70%. I absolutely love it and at the moment I find no faults with it and it is serving me exactly the way I need it to.

Leif Foged is a scammer. He charged my annual subscription for 120 us dollar without consent. When I contact the customer service, he ignored me by sending no replies. I was absolutely angry and I ask for Refund. The portal does not allow me to remove my credit card information. Please dont use this portal for transcription. Thank you.

I have been using Turboscribe since the past 2-3 weeks. So far have had a great experience using this website to convert speech to text.

Pros:
No registration required.
No fuss, simple navigation.
Free 3 scribes per day.
Choice: There are 3 levels of accuracy.

In the speech to text domain this is not bad quality at all. Sure there are other more professional but if you want convenience and simple transcription this wins. You can use it from the phone as well and upload voice notes.

It's a free service and super convenient - I am very grateful.

PS Let Turboscribe know about your review. Just check the box and we'll notify them. The review will be sent to infoturboscribe.ai.
you can do best only you don't get any response from them anyway div mails sent no response

SCAM. Paid for annual subscription and then subscription was cancelled and blocked. Worst part, there is NO customer support to contact, only an AI email address that itself does not respond. How much more of an online SCAM can this company be.

Terrible translated SRT file generation -- it's almost impossible to understand the generated SRT text -- The generated text (DUTCH), before the conversion to an SRT file is OK, but the final SRT result is bad.

This service of Turboscribe is a scam. The quality of the translation and subscription are of extremely inaccurate and of substandard quality.
Moreover, there is only one person who is supposed to answer to the customer service queries who responds to your emails or NOT. You send multiple emails and then he may respond. I asked for a refund to which he refused. STAY AWAY from this! Use chatgpt, its very good!

This is an awesome app! I'm using it because I'm taking a very intense, very accelerated language course. The class is moving so quickly that I don't always understand all of the concepts. Turboscribe is saving the day!

Very disappointed, l paid for the service and thst service was not offered, Transcript was nonsense. l wrote the customer service but no reply....But money taken.. l used Sonix. l can show you proof of the quality
