ScribeTo
ScribeTo is an online video and audio transcription service that converts spoken content into editable text. It is a paid SaaS tool with a free tier that includes 10 transcription minutes per month. The platform accepts media through three main entry points: uploading files directly, pasting a public media URL, or recording live from the browser. Supported file formats include MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV, and others, while public links can be pulled from platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. The transcription engine automatically detects language and produces timestamped segments with speaker labels. Users can edit the transcript in place next to the audio or video player, correct words, rename speakers, and adjust caption timing. The editor supports exporting the final text in TXT, Markdown, SRT, VTT, and JSON formats. ScribeTo also offers translation and AI summary features, making it possible to repurpose long recordings into concise notes or multilingual subtitles. ScribeTo is designed for content creators, business users, researchers, and hobbyists who need fast, accurate transcripts without installing desktop software. Because it runs entirely in the browser, it works across operating systems and requires only an internet connection. The service emphasizes the 'last mile' of transcription work: editing, timing, and exporting, rather than just generating a raw transcript.
