What you get

Switching from TurboScribe
Upload the same mp3, mp4, wav, m4a, or webm files you already have, up to 10 at a time. Podcast RSS and a direct media URL also work. YouTube and other video links do not. After the transcript is ready you can rename speakers, export Word or SRT, and ask questions on the same page. Notes, a blog draft, and social posts can generate as artifacts next to the speakers. You do not open ChatGPT. Sign in with email and password or Google.
Pro and Business add custom vocabulary and context hints, plus industry presets (Podcast, Legal, Medical, Tech). Those help with names and jargon. They do not turn Scribebit into an unlimited plan.
When to stay with TurboScribe
Stay if your workload needs unlimited hours, or if you transcribe from a YouTube or other video link. If you transcribe more than 8,000 minutes a month, stay on unlimited.
