Comparison
txscribe vs TurboScribe, for transcripts you'll check
TurboScribe sells a lot of transcription for a flat fee: no monthly allowance, long files and a free plan that renews every day. If what you need is as much text as possible for as little as possible, it is the better deal, and the section below says where.
txscribe is for the transcript you'll check, correct and quote: words that come back timed, click a line to jump to that moment, rename a speaker once and every line follows, a list of the names and terms your recordings use, and translation and every export on the free plan too. The table sets out how the two differ, row by row.
TurboScribe'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 Plans and prices change — if something here is out of date, tell us at support@txscribe.ai.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.
TurboScribe
Unlimited: $20 a month billed monthly, or $10 a month billed yearly ($120 a year), for one person. The Free plan costs nothing. Source
Time included
txscribe
Pro: 30 hours a month. Without an account: one recording, up to 10 minutes.
TurboScribe
Unlimited: "Unlimited transcriptions for one person" — its FAQ says there are no caps on overall usage and the only rule is not sharing your login. Above 720 hours a month, its guide says an account moves to a High Volume Mode that typically transcribes one file at a time and may ask you to try again later. Sources 1, 2, 3
Uploading files
txscribe
No limit on the number of files, on any plan. The only thing that runs out is minutes.
TurboScribe
Free: 3 files a day, uploaded one at a time, at lower priority. Unlimited: up to 50 files at a time, at the highest priority. Source
Longest recording
txscribe
Up to 8 hours per file on Pro. Without an account, the first 10 minutes of one recording.
Languages
txscribe
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
txscribe
Speakers come back numbered. Rename one once and every line follows; names you have used before are offered again.
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.
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.
TurboScribe
Clicking anywhere in the transcript plays the audio from that point, which its guide says makes checking easy; timestamps can be shown or hidden. Source
Training on your recordings
txscribe
We do not use your recordings or transcripts to train models.
TurboScribe
Its security and privacy FAQ says it does not train AI or machine learning models on your media files or transcripts, and runs transcription in-house rather than through third-party transcription APIs. Source
Where TurboScribe is the better choice
- A lot of recording, one price. Unlimited: "Unlimited transcriptions for one person" — its FAQ says there are no caps on overall usage and the only rule is not sharing your login. Above 720 hours a month, its guide says an account moves to a High Volume Mode that typically transcribes one file at a time and may ask you to try again later. Sources 1, 2, 3 Our Pro plan has a monthly allowance and is billed monthly only, and TurboScribe Unlimited costs less a month than it, billed yearly or month to month.
- Longer files. Free: up to 30 minutes per file. Unlimited: up to 10 hours and 5 GB per file. Sources 1, 2 The longest file our Pro plan takes is shorter.
- A free plan that renews. Free: 3 files a day, uploaded one at a time, at lower priority. Unlimited: up to 50 files at a time, at the highest priority. Source Up to 10 minutes of one recording is free here, on the trial page, without an account.
- Many files at once. PDF, DOCX, TXT, CSV, SRT and VTT, and the uploaded media file can be downloaded too. Unlimited members can export in bulk: 50 transcripts at a time, or a whole folder of up to 1,000. Sources 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 We export up to 100 transcripts at a time, so a folder larger than that takes more than one export.
- Poor audio. A "Restore Audio" option, chosen at upload, uses AI to remove background noise and enhance speech before transcribing. Sources 1, 2 We have no clean-up step for uploaded files.
- More languages. 98+ languages, with the audio language chosen at upload; its FAQ says accuracy varies by language. Sources 1, 2 That is more than we transcribe.
- Teams. TurboScribe for Teams buys Unlimited for several people under one account, at $120 per user a year, billed annually. Source txscribe has shared workspaces on every plan — invite people as admins, editors or viewers, and comment on transcripts together — but no team billing: there are no seats or pooled minutes, each member transcribes on their own plan, and there is no single sign-on.
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.
