Transcripts of any recording, every speaker named.

Subtitled turns a recording into a timestamped transcript. Drop in any audio or video file, and Subtitled writes down what was said in more than 60 languages, tells the speakers apart, and can translate it into 16. Download it as text or PDF. It costs $0.25 per hour of audio, so a 45 minute call is about $0.19.

Questions

How do I transcribe an audio file to text?

Open subtitled.live/transcribe and drop in the recording. Subtitled reads the sound, transcribes it in the language spoken or translates it, and shows a timestamped transcript with each speaker on their own line, ready to download as text or PDF.

Can Subtitled tell the speakers apart?

Yes. Subtitled finds the speakers on its own, or you can set how many people are talking, from two to six, and it groups the voices into exactly that many. Then give each speaker a name and the transcript uses it.

Can Subtitled transcribe and translate at the same time?

Yes. Subtitled recognises speech in more than 60 languages and can write the transcript in any of 16, so a call in Arabic or Spanish can come back as an English transcript in one step.

What files can Subtitled transcribe?

Subtitled reads common audio and video files, such as MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, MP4, MOV and WebM, up to 5 hours each. Only the sound is sent to be transcribed, even from a video.

How much does transcription cost on Subtitled?

Subtitled charges $0.25 per hour of audio, by the second, from one credit balance. A 45 minute call is about $0.19, the price is shown before anything is sent, and a new account's free first hour covers four hours of audio.

Can I transcribe several files at once?

Yes. Drop several recordings into Subtitled and they queue up and run one after another with the same settings. Each shows its own progress, and your last three transcripts stay in your browser if you reload.

Can Subtitled make a transcript for court?

Yes. Open Court transcript under the result, fill in the court and case, correct the text against the recording, and download a searchable PDF on Letter paper with 25 numbered lines a page, a caption page and a declaration for the preparer to sign, or an editable Word file. Social Security and card numbers can be masked to their last four digits. The transcript is $0.25 an hour; the court-format files add $5 an hour of recording.

Does Subtitled keep my recordings?

No. Subtitled sends only the sound to Soniox to be transcribed, and deletes it there as soon as the text comes back. The transcript is kept only in your own browser.
