Scribix
Scribix is an AI-powered video-to-text transcription service that converts spoken audio in videos into accurate, speaker-labeled text. It supports a wide range of video and audio formats, including MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM, MP3, and WAV, and accepts either file uploads (up to 1 GB) or links from YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. The tool leverages modern speech recognition models to deliver transcripts with 99.9% accuracy on clear audio, covering over 200 languages with automatic language detection and code-switching capabilities. Processing is fast, transcribing a 1-hour video in approximately 90 seconds. Key features include speaker recognition for up to 8 distinct voices, with the ability to label speakers as individuals, and word-level timestamps that allow users to click any word to jump to that exact moment in the video. Transcripts can be edited inline, copied to the clipboard, or exported in multiple formats: TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT, and CSV, making them suitable for documents, captions, spreadsheets, and further analysis. The platform is designed with privacy and security in mind, employing TLS 1.3 encryption in transit, AES-256 at rest, and processing in encrypted memory. Files are automatically deleted after 24 hours, and the service is SOC 2-aligned and GDPR-compliant. Scribix is accessed through a web interface, requiring a Google sign-in for the free tier. It is trusted by major organizations such as Stanford Podcast Network, TED Conferences, The Atlantic, and Y Combinator, and has transcribed over 10 million minutes for more than 100,000 creators. The service is particularly valuable for content creators, journalists, podcasters, researchers, and legal professionals who need fast, reliable transcription.
