Comparison
txscribe vs Notta, for recordings you already have
Notta is built around meetings: a bot that joins your calls, live transcription, phone apps and a browser extension. If a bot in your meetings is what you need, it does things we don't, and its price is set out below.
This page is for recordings you upload — interviews, lectures, research — where the differences are in how long a recording can be with speakers labelled, what you can export on each plan, and what happens to your recordings.
Notta's details checked on its own pages on ; each links to its source. Plans and prices change — if something here is out of date, tell us at support@txscribe.ai.
Price
txscribe
Pro: $24.99 a month, billed monthly. One plan, no seats.
Time included
txscribe
Pro: 30 hours a month. Without an account: one recording, up to 10 minutes.
Longest recording
txscribe
Up to 8 hours per file on Pro. Without an account, the first 10 minutes of one recording.

82 languages (110 regional variants in the picker). Speaker labels offered in all of them — in 96, only on recordings of up to 2 hours, and not where that pass fails.
Speaker names

Exports
txscribe
TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, Final Cut Pro captions, Premiere Pro markers, transcripts for NVivo, MAXQDA and ATLAS.ti, and JSON, on every plan, including Free. Up to 100 transcripts at once as one ZIP, and the audio or video file you uploaded can be downloaded again.
Translation
txscribe
A translated copy of the whole transcript, on every plan.
Custom word list
txscribe
Up to 1,000 names and terms, on every plan.
Checking against the audio
txscribe
Words come back with timestamps: click any line to jump to that moment in the recording. A line you correct keeps its paragraph's timing rather than per-word timing. Answers to questions about a transcript link to the moments they came from.
Training on your recordings
txscribe
We do not use your recordings or transcripts to train models.
Notta
Its Terms license your data "only as reasonably necessary" to provide, maintain and update the service, to prevent or address service, security, support or technical issues, as required by law, or as you expressly permit in writing; its privacy policy says it may use information to improve the service and makes no general statement about training, and its help centre lists "No data training" among the Enterprise plan's security features. On Pro and above, its desktop app's Privacy Mode transcribes on your own computer, imported files included, and that content is not used for AI model training. Sources 1, 2, 3, 4
Where Notta is the better choice
- Meetings, live and on the phone. A meeting bot for Zoom, Teams, Meet and Webex, live transcription, mobile apps and a Chrome extension, on every plan. Sources 1, 2, 3, 4 txscribe has no meeting bot; it can show live captions while you record in the browser, but the transcript you edit comes afterwards.
- Price. Pro $13.49 a month or $97.99 a year; Business $27.99 per seat a month or $199.99 per seat a year. Enterprise is custom, from 51 seats. Sources 1, 2 At regular prices, Notta Pro costs less than txscribe Pro for the same hours a month, whether Notta is billed monthly or yearly — not counting txscribe's introductory price.
- Two languages in one recording. 58 languages; bilingual transcription pairs any two of 23 languages, with a few free uses a month and more as a paid add-on on Pro and above. Sources 1, 2, 3 In txscribe, speech in a second language may come back translated instead of transcribed, or not at all.
- Spreadsheet exports. Downloads on Pro and above: TXT, DOCX, SRT, PDF and XLSX, and the recording as MP3, WAV or MP4. Free can copy the text. Sources 1, 2, 3 We export PDF and the file you uploaded too, but no spreadsheet.
- Transcribing on your own computer. On Pro and above, its desktop app's Privacy Mode transcribes recordings and imported files on your own computer, without sending them to its cloud — in a limited set of languages, with cloud features paused. Source txscribe transcribes in the cloud.
- A security report to hand over. Its security page says SOC 2 Type II, obtained through an independent audit; its pricing table offers the certification reports on Business and Enterprise. Sources 1, 2 We have no SOC 2 report.
What txscribe doesn't do well
- Speaker labels stop at 2 hours in 96 of our 110 language variants: there a separate pass labels the speakers, and a longer recording — or one whose pass fails — comes back without labels and says so, with no speakers to rename.
- A recording that switches language partway may come back translated rather than transcribed — or not at all — and nothing marks it as missing. Name the main language instead of leaving it on automatic.
- Summaries do not point back to the moment each line came from. Answers to questions do.
