Scribewave

Scribewave is an online speech to text service that turns audio and video files into transcripts, subtitles and translations. Users upload files, and an AI model transcribes them in 99 languages and dialects. Uploads can be large files up to 5GB and long files up to 5 hours, depending on plan, and common formats such as MP3, WAV, M4A and MP4 are supported. The editor plays the media while highlighting the paragraph being spoken, and the text can be edited as a document or on a timeline. Speaker recognition and translation into 99 languages are included on every plan, and transcripts export to Microsoft Word, Google Docs or other formats. Subtitles can be downloaded as a subtitled video, even from an audio upload. Higher plans add custom vocabulary. The vendor states that it is GDPR compliant and emphasizes confidentiality. It is aimed at journalists, researchers, students, educators and content creators. Prices are shown in euros.
