Transcribe Interviews
An hour of interview audio is typically 4–6 hours of manual transcription. ScribeToAny does it in minutes with question/answer turns attributed to speakers, so you can verify quotes against timestamps instead of your memory.

What you get: a real transcript
Unedited output from a 64-second interview with two speakers (synthetic voices), transcribed with speaker detection on. Only the first lines are shown.
SPEAKER_00 (0:00) Welcome back to Small Shop Stories. SPEAKER_00 (0:02) Today I'm talking to Maya, who runs a tiny bakery on the SPEAKER_00 (0:05) corner of Mill Street. SPEAKER_01 (0:07) Thanks for having me. SPEAKER_01 (0:08) It's really small, just two ovens and a counter. SPEAKER_00 (0:12) So how does a normal day start for you?

Checked against the script, 4 of 189 words differed — a 2.1% word error rate, counting "80" written for "eighty" as an error — and all 14 speaker turns were labelled correctly. This was clean speech; noisy recordings and people talking over each other score lower. See the full transcript and how it was scored

Frequently asked questions
Is it accurate enough for published quotes?
Use accurate mode for the strongest model, then verify key quotes with click-to-play — each segment replays its exact audio.
Can I transcribe phone or video-call interviews?
Yes, any recording works — audio or video, in about 98 languages.
How is my interview data protected?
Files are encrypted at rest, visible only to your account, and deletable at any time.
Can I get a strict verbatim transcript with ums and pauses?
Not automatically. Whisper-class models write clean verbatim, leaving out most fillers, false starts and repetitions. For strict verbatim — for discourse or conversation analysis, say — add them back in the editor while replaying each line.
Can I send the transcript to the interviewee for review?
Yes. Share a read-only link they can open without an account, and revoke it once they've replied — or export DOCX so they can comment in Word.
