Transcribe Italian Audio
Italian is spoken quickly, runs words together and shifts noticeably between north and south — which is exactly what makes hand-transcription slow. ScribeToAny turns Italian speech into clean, punctuated text automatically, for interviews, podcasts, lectures and videos, then exports it in eight formats with timestamps intact.

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?
1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,680 [SPEAKER_00] Welcome back to Small Shop Stories. 2 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,320 [SPEAKER_00] Today I'm talking to Maya, who runs a tiny bakery on the 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:06,320 [SPEAKER_00] corner of Mill Street.
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
- Double Consonants & Cadence: Geminate consonants (doppie) are written as Italian spells them; strong regional cadence may need a check.
- Formal & Informal Address: Lei and tu forms are kept as spoken, not normalised to one register.
- Accents & Punctuation: Output is accented (è, é, à, ò, ù) and punctuated, with apostrophes in place.
- Ready-to-Publish Subtitles: Export synchronized SRT/VTT files and structured Word documents for media teams.
Frequently asked questions
Does it handle regional accents?
Yes. The model is trained on a wide range of spoken Italian, so accents from Milan to Naples to Sicily are recognised. Heavy dialect that departs from standard Italian is where a quick proofread in the editor helps most.
Does it add accents and punctuation?
Yes — the output is properly accented Italian (è, però, città) with sentence punctuation, so it pastes cleanly into documents and reads naturally rather than as one long run-on.
Can it subtitle Italian videos?
Yes. Every transcript is timestamped, so export SRT or VTT and drop them straight onto the video. You can also translate the Italian transcript into 134+ languages for free, on every plan. The translation keeps the original timings, so a translated SRT lines up with the video too.
Italian isn't in the language menu — how do I make sure it's detected?
Leave Audio language on Auto-detect: Italian is recognised automatically. Detection listens to roughly the first 30 seconds, so if your recording opens with an English intro, music or a long silence, trim that part first — otherwise the file may be treated as another language.
Can it label speakers in an Italian interview or podcast?
Yes. Turn on Detect speakers before transcribing; it separates voices by how they sound, so it works the same for any language. If you know how many people speak, set Number of speakers (2–8) — that helps most in interviews and radio-style podcasts, where voices overlap and the automatic count can merge two similar speakers.
