RECORD AND IMPORT Record meeting notes, interviews, lectures, and voice memos directly in Scribe. Import supported audio and video files, including MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4, and WebM. FOLLOW THE CONVERSATION Speaker detection helps show who said what, with consecutive speech by one person kept together. Give speakers names, correct a passage or all turns by that speaker, and split where another speaker starts. REVIEW WHILE YOU LISTEN Play back a recording and follow its transcript. Tap transcript text or a timestamp to jump to that part of the audio. SHARE YOUR WORDS Share a transcript with speaker names, or export text without names. You can also share the original audio.
