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.

Price
txscribe
Pro: $15 a month, or $12 a month billed yearly; the first month is $7. 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
Free: 90 minutes, once. Pro: 30 hours a month.
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 90 minutes on Free, up to 8 hours on Pro.
Languages
txscribe
82 languages (110 regional variants in the picker). Speaker labels on 14 of those variants — the picker says which before you upload.
Speaker names
txscribe
Speakers come back numbered. Rename one once and every line follows; names you have used before are offered again. No voice recognition.
Exports
txscribe
TXT, DOCX, SRT and VTT on every plan, including Free. No audio or PDF export.
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 billed yearly TurboScribe Unlimited costs less a month than our Pro billed yearly. Billed month to month, ours costs less.
- 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 Our Free minutes are granted once and do not come back.
- 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 one transcript at a time, and have no audio or PDF 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 is one person's account.
What txscribe doesn't do well
- Speaker labels work in 14 of our 110 language variants. In the rest the transcript has no speaker labels, and there are 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.
