Description
Scribewave is a professional transcription platform that turns audio and video files into accurate text automatically. It supports 99 languages and dialects and specializes in smaller languages, regional varieties, and mixed or code-switching speech, where many mainstream tools focus mainly on English. It accepts common audio and video formats such as MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, and MOV, handling large files and long recordings.
Every transcript comes with speaker recognition (diarization), custom vocabularies to protect names and jargon, and a browser-based, time-synced editor that highlights the spoken paragraph and lets you click any word to jump playback to that moment. A built-in AI assistant can answer questions about a transcript and produce summaries, chapters, and meeting notes with exact timecode references. Finished work can be exported to DOCX, SRT, plain text, or a subtitled video, and Scribewave can also generate subtitles and turn audio files into videos with waveforms and captions.
Scribewave is built by a European company with a strong privacy focus: data is stored on European servers, the service is GDPR compliant, audio is never used to train models, and users can permanently delete their data at any time. Pricing is usage-based, with pay-as-you-go credits that never expire alongside monthly Creative, Professional, and Enterprise plans, and a free trial transcript for new users.
