Transcriptionist Press Kit

Quick Overview

Transcriptionist takes audio files and turns them into text — quickly and privately, on your own iPhone, iPad or Apple Silicon Mac instead of the cloud — in almost 100 languages. Whether you want to:

...Transcriptionist can help. Edit the text in the app, or export it in a variety of popular formats (including Markdown, HTML and subtitle files), or teach it your own custom format.

Transcriptionist integrates with our popular iOS podcast editing app Ferrite Recording Studio to prepare podcast transcripts, but is equally useful as a standalone app.

Key Features

Playback: You can always listen back to the audio, not just read the text.

Multi-track: If you import multiple audio files — one per person — Transcriptionist will combine them into a single transcript where you can both read and hear what everyone said.

Ferrite integration: A new update to Ferrite (v3.1) will be released simultaneously with Transcriptionist, and supports integrating the two apps.

Note: Ferrite is currently available for iPhone and iPad, but not Mac. However, if you like, you can export transcription projects from Ferrite on iOS direct to your Mac for transcribing, using AirDrop, or a cloud storage service such as iCloud Drive.

Stylish exports: Export .md Markdown, .html web pages, .pdf documents, .csv tables, .vtt or .srt subtitles, or create your own custom text formats.

Note: If you cancel your subscription, your existing transcripts are not affected — even if they are over the duration limit for free users. You can still view, listen to and edit them, and export them in common formats.

† As long as they'll fit in your device's memory. A Mac can fit any brain size, as can modern high-end iPad Pro models, but some iPhone or iPad devices may not be able to fit all brains.
