File Transcribe is an AI transcription tool that converts recordings and videos into usable text, aimed at people who need to process recordings, such as students, journalists, and creators. Its positioning is to focus on file-to-text conversion, rather than being a meeting bot or a bloated editor.
Main capabilities:
- Upload audio or video files and get editable transcript text, including speaker labels, timestamps, and smart formatting.
- Supports common audio formats (MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC) and video formats (MP4, MOV, WEBM, etc.).
- Supports more than 50 languages, with automatic language detection and support for multilingual switching.
- Supports TXT export; the Pro plan supports SRT and VTT subtitle export, as well as AI summaries and translation.
- You can try transcription on the homepage without registering.
- Privacy protection: files uploaded by visitors are automatically deleted after 24 hours; after registering, the library belongs to the user.
How to use:
- Upload an audio or video file from your device.
- The system performs speech-to-text and generates transcript text with speaker labels, timestamps, and smart formatting.
- Edit names, copy quotes, download TXT; upgrade to Pro to export SRT and VTT subtitles.
Use cases:
- Turn lectures and study recordings into searchable notes for easy browsing and citation.
- Reuse podcast and video recordings as subtitles, blog posts, and show notes.
- Transcribe interviews faster and extract accurate quotes without repeated listening.
- Turn clinical dictation into draft documents that can be reviewed and exported.
- Support speaker separation for multi-person recordings, suitable for interviews, podcasts, and multi-voice scenarios.
- Jump from transcript text to the corresponding time point.
Limitations and notes:
- Visitor users get 2 transcriptions per day, each file up to 10 minutes, single file up to 100 MB, and uploads are automatically deleted after 24 hours.
- Free accounts get 5 transcriptions per day, each file up to 30 minutes, support the library, TXT export, and search, and include speaker labels and timestamps.
- Accuracy depends on audio quality, accents, and background noise; clear speech usually works better, and transcript text should always be reviewed and edited before publishing or sharing.
- Paid plans allow larger files; specific pricing is not currently available.
- The Pro plan includes higher daily limits, longer recordings, SRT/VTT subtitles, AI summaries, and translation.
- The Team plan includes all Pro features, team seats, higher usage, longer retention, and priority support.
- Specific pricing information for each tier is not currently available.
