How should I prepare an audio recording for transcription?
Use the clearest recording available. Background noise, echo, distant voices, and people speaking at the same time can increase recognition mistakes.

Yes. The source language is detected automatically. Choose a target language before starting to keep the original transcript and generate an editable translation.
Can ScribeAny summarize an audio transcript?
Yes. Keep the summary option selected before starting, or generate an editable summary and key points from the result page. Review AI-generated notes against the transcript before using them.
Can I edit the transcript before downloading?
Yes. Edit the text directly, or search for a word or phrase and use Replace all to update matching text. Downloads use the text currently shown in your transcript.
Can I turn audio into SRT or VTT subtitles?
Yes. Export SRT or VTT to receive a separate timed text file. It does not contain the audio; use it with the original recording or a compatible video workflow.
How do I keep my transcript and edits?
Download your transcript before refreshing or leaving this page. This preview keeps edits only in the current page and doesn’t provide an account library. Uploaded files are sent to a transcription service for processing; this isn’t an offline tool.
