Smart Scribe
Audio and video transcription in 30+ languages, with speaker detection, a synchronized editor, flexible exports, and optional professional proofreading.
About Smart Scribe
Smart Scribe turns audio and video files into editable transcripts. It supports more than 30 languages, identifies speakers, adds punctuation, and keeps audio aligned with text in a built-in editor, where changes save automatically. Its AI assistant can produce summaries, pull out key takeaways, and respond to custom prompts. Finished transcripts export as DOCX, PDF, TXT, SRT, HTML, or JSON, so the same recording can feed documents, subtitles, websites, or structured-data workflows. Automatic transcription is bought by the hour with no subscription, and unused purchased time does not expire. For recordings that need human review, Perfect Transcription adds professional proofreading, a 99% accuracy guarantee, and delivery within 48 hours. A one-time 15-minute trial is available after email confirmation without a credit card. Automatic results still need checking, especially when recording conditions are less than optimal.
