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

Why ScribeToAny

  • Engineered for university lectures, seminars, and training webinars: transforms spoken presentations into structured study notes.
  • Copes with typical lecture recordings; heavy echo or a distant microphone lowers accuracy, and Restore audio helps.
  • Export readable PDF or DOCX transcripts for revision, and timestamped SRT captions for lecture videos.

Frequently asked questions

Does it handle technical terminology?

The accurate mode uses the largest model and performs well on domain vocabulary; anything missed is one click to correct.

Can I transcribe a 2-hour recorded class?

Yes on paid plans (up to 6 hours per file); free accounts cover files up to 30 minutes.

What export works best for study notes?

DOCX or PDF for annotated notes; TXT if you paste into Notion or Obsidian.

How can I get better results from a recording made at the back of the hall?

Distance and echo are the biggest problems. Record closer to the lecturer if you can, or use the lectern microphone's recording; for what you already have, turn on Restore audio and keep the default Accurate mode, then check technical terms in the editor.

Can I read a foreign-language lecture in English?

Yes. Tick Transcribe to English before starting and the lecture comes back as English text in one pass, on every plan. Or keep the original transcript and translate it afterwards into 134+ languages.
