Transcribe. Transcribe audio files into text

Last updated on 12 May 2026

Transcribe is an online tool that allows to transcribing audio into text. To be more precise, the tool will make your life easier at the time of transcription.

Anyone who has ever had the need to make an audio transcript into text of a conference or interview knows how long and ungrateful the task can be. The miraculous tool that would do everything automatically does not exist or at least not yet. Despite the considerable advances in speech recognition, this is still science fiction.

Transcribe offers a voice dictation system for simple transcriptions, but it mainly offers an optimised word processing tool to enable you to write a sound recording. In the image ofoTranscribe, another tool presented here, Transcribe is ideal for journalists, researchers, students who often have to transcribe audio files into text.

Transcribe offers an audio player built into a word processor. You must first upload your audio file in mp3 or Wav format. All you have to do is read the file and start writing the text. Transcribe offers easy-to-remember keyboard shortcuts that will allow you to juggle sound. Take a break to allow you to write, speed up, slow down, flea-jump or insert time markers into the sound to allow you to find a passage easily.

Convenient, your text is saved in real time. The other way to optimally use Transcribe is through voice dictation. You listen to the audio file on the headphones and then dictate to the online software the text to be transcribed.

All this works wonderfully well and the time saved on a classic transcription is considerable. Note again in the latest news announced by the service the possibility to transcribe videos present on YouTube as easily. Simply enter the URL of the video and Transcribe will import the sound to allow you to start translating it into text.

Transcribe gives you a week to try it for free, then you will have to go through a subscription of around 20 euros per year. A price that I find reasonable considering the service rendered and the time saved that this tool will make you do.
