About TurboScribe
TurboScribe is a Whisper-powered transcription service that converts audio and video files into text in 98+ languages, with speaker recognition, translation into 134+ languages, and export to formats like DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, TXT and CSV. It's aimed at individuals and small teams—journalists, researchers, students, podcasters and content creators—who transcribe frequently, and its main differentiator is a flat-rate 'Unlimited' plan that removes per-minute usage caps rather than charging by the hour like most competitors.
