Pro: unused hours don't roll over; extra hours with a 10-, 30- or 50-hour Pass. All plans: export to TXT, SRT, VTT, Word and PDF, up to 24 hours of audio a day. Prices include VAT.

Why TraScrivo

Why TraScrivo is different

Clear limits, account optional, files deleted right after transcription. Just a serious transcription engine, open to everyone.

Fast and accurate

Powered by state-of-the-art speech recognition on fast servers. A voice note is transcribed in seconds, with automatic timestamps.

Free, no tricks

No “3 free minutes, then pay”. Transcription is free with no daily limit (fair use: up to 24 hours of audio a day), with files up to 30 minutes; for longer files and more hours there are the Pass and Pro. The free plan needs no card and has no hidden costs.

Private by default

Works even without an account. Your files are used only to produce the transcript and are deleted right after.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Are my files kept anywhere?

No. Your audio is sent securely to our transcription server, converted to text, and immediately discarded. We don't keep your files after transcription and we don't use them for anything else; the text stays in your account for 30 days only if you choose server processing (Pass and Pro).

Which languages are supported?

Over 90 languages, including English, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Pick the language or leave automatic detection on.

How accurate is it?

It uses state-of-the-art speech recognition. On clean audio accuracy is excellent.

Do I need to install or download anything?

No. It runs entirely in your browser — no app, sign-up optional. Just pick a file and press Transcribe.

Is there a file-size limit?

On the free plan each file is transcribed up to 30 minutes, with no daily limit (fair use: up to 24 hours of audio a day); with the Pass or Pro, files up to 4 hours are split into chunks and transcribed in full, automatically.

Which formats can I upload?

Audio m4a, mp3, wav, ogg (WhatsApp voice notes) and video mp4, mov, webm. The audio track is extracted from video.

How can I pay?

By card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express and more), PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay. You pay on a secure page run by our payment provider: we never see your card details. Prices include VAT.

Does the Pass expire?

No. The 10 hours of the Pass never expire: use them whenever you like, in as many sessions as you want, with files up to 4 hours. If you buy another Pass, the hours add up. Pro is a subscription with 30 hours a month that you can cancel at any time.

Do I get an invoice?

Yes. After paying you receive a receipt by email, and from there you can download a PDF invoice.

What if I’m not happy?

We refund you within 14 days if you transcribed less than 60 minutes, or if a technical problem on our side stopped you from using your plan. Write to ciao@trascrivo.com.
