What audio formats do you support for transcription?

We transcribe WAV alongside MP3, M4A, AAC, FLAC, and OGG, plus video formats including MP4, MOV, AVI, and MKV. Upload straight from your device or cloud storage with no conversion step. When a lossless master exists, upload the WAV itself: the uncompressed signal gives Scribe the cleanest input and the most accurate transcript.

How accurate are WAV audio transcripts?

WAV transcripts are among the most accurate, because lossless audio carries none of the artifacts compression introduces. Scribe outperforms competing models in accuracy benchmarks and holds that precision through quiet speakers, crosstalk, and room noise. Every transcript arrives with speaker labels, word-level timestamps, and audio event tags across 90+ languages.

Can I edit the transcript after it's generated?

Click any word in the editor to correct names, technical terms, or misheard lines from a session. Merge takes, separate overlapping voices, and reassign speaker labels directly in the transcript, and each word keeps its timestamp, so your edits stay aligned with the original WAV recording.

What export formats are available?

Download SRT or VTT for captions and subtitles, JSON when your logging tools need word-level timing, and TXT, DOCX, or PDF for scripts, review copies, and archives. HTML and Avid-compatible exports round out the list. Every format carries the same timestamps, so the text lines up with your master wherever you take it.

Can I transcribe WAV files recorded in other languages?

Scribe transcribes WAV audio in 90+ languages and detects the language automatically on upload, so international sessions and multilingual field recordings need no manual selection. Accuracy extends to many undeserved languages as well as widely spoken ones, and speaker labels and timestamps work the same in every language.

From lossless WAV to text in minutes

Upload uncompressed audio and Scribe builds the transcript from the full signal, not a lossy copy. You get attributed, timestamped text ready for the edit.

1

Upload your WAV file

Drag in a file from your session folder, field recorder card, or cloud storage. Long, high-resolution WAV files upload without conversion or splitting.

2

Edit your transcript instantly

Correct names and technical terms, merge or split segments, and reassign speakers in the editor. Each word keeps its timestamp, so edits stay locked to the recording.

3

Export in any format you need

Download TXT, DOCX, or PDF for scripts and review copies, or SRT, VTT, and JSON when captions and logs need precise timing.

Not just transcription. Audio understanding

Uncompressed source audio deserves transcription that keeps up. Scribe reads the detail in your lossless files and returns structured, attributed text.

#1 Accuracy

Industry-leading transcription accuracy, delivering clean, editable text even in challenging audio conditions and across diverse accents and dialects.

Edit the transcripts

Fix terminology, split takes, and reassign voices without leaving the transcript. Timing data follows every change.

Speaker Timestamps

Scribe labels up to 32 speakers and timestamps across the transcript, turning a panel, session, or control-room feed into an ordered, attributed record.
