How it works
One recording. Four clean steps.
The interface stays out of the way while your audio becomes a searchable, editable and portable record.
-
Upload
Drop in audio or video
Choose a file and the language spoken in it — that is the whole setup.
-
Transcribe
Let the voices separate
OpenAI speech technology creates timestamps and can label each speaker in the conversation.
-
Refine
Read, edit and translate
Search the text, correct names and prepare another language without rebuilding the document.
-
Export
Take it wherever it needs to go
Download a document, plain text or timed captions in DOCX, PDF, TXT, SRT or VTT.

Transcribe a file
What does the free plan include?
A free account gives you 90 transcript minutes a month, up to 15 minutes per file, TXT download and no credit card. Longer files are still transcribed in full — the rest unlocks on the unlimited plan without re-uploading. Without an account you can try one file a day.
How large can a file be?
Free files can be up to 1 GB; we transcribe up to two hours of each and show you the first 15 minutes — the rest unlocks with the unlimited plan. Unlimited supports up to 10 hours and 5 GB per file, with 50 files in one batch.
Which languages are supported?
WhoScribe transcribes speech in 90+ languages, including English and Turkish. Accuracy varies with language and recording quality.
Can it separate speakers?
Yes. Turn on speaker recognition before you transcribe and every line is labelled with who is speaking.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. Cancel from your dashboard and keep Unlimited access until the end of the current billing period.
Can I pay for just one video?
Yes. Unlocking one file is a single payment of $5, not a subscription. You read the start free, then unlock the full transcript of that recording without uploading it again.
Does it work on YouTube videos without captions?
Yes. WhoScribe transcribes the audio itself, so the video does not need captions or subtitles. Paste the link of a video up to 10 hours long.
What if it picks the wrong language?
Choose the right language and transcribe it again for free, before you pay. Every language is included on every plan.
