Here's what you get — speaker labels, timestamps, and multiple download formats. Try it with your own file.
Transcription services tend to answer the easy questions and blur the important ones. This page does the opposite: the answers below cover what accuracy actually means on real-world audio, what happens to your files after processing, and what the bill looks like — the three things that should decide which service you use.
The short version of TranscribeBee: Whisper-class AI transcription with automatic speaker identification, roughly two to three minutes of processing per hour of audio, $2 per audio hour with no subscription, export to TXT, SRT, VTT, DOC, and PDF, and files deleted automatically after processing. Nearly every audio and video format works — MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV and more — because the audio track is extracted and processed regardless of container.
On accuracy, the honest framing: clear single-speaker audio transcribes at 95–98%; multi-speaker recordings with decent microphones are slightly below that; bad audio is worse, for every service, whatever their landing page says. The practical test costs $2 — upload a typical file from your real workflow and judge the output against your own bar.
$2 per audio hour, billed per file. A month with no uploads costs nothing — the pricing model most FAQ pages bury.
Uploads are processed by machine and auto-deleted. No human listens, nothing is retained for training.
Upload almost any audio or video container; download TXT for reading, SRT or VTT for captions, and DOC or PDF for documents.
Typically 95%+ on clear audio, with accuracy dropping as noise, crosstalk, and accents stack up. No AI service honestly promises 100% — budget a short review pass for names and technical terms.
Processing runs about 2–3 minutes per hour of audio. A one-hour meeting is usually ready in under five minutes including upload time.
Yes — automatic speaker diarization labels each voice (Speaker A, Speaker B) throughout the transcript at no extra cost. You map labels to names afterward, which takes a minute.
It is deleted automatically after processing. The transcript remains available to you to download; the source audio is not retained.
$2 per audio hour, prorated by duration, pay-per-use. A 30-minute interview costs $1; a 2-hour lecture costs $4. No monthly fee, no minutes bucket, no tiers.
$2 per hour. No subscription. Files are auto-deleted after processing.
