What audio formats do you support for transcription?

We accept MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC, and OGG audio files, plus video formats like MP4, MOV, AVI, and MKV. Upload any of them directly - Scribe reads compressed and uncompressed audio alike, so an archive mixing old MP3s with newer lossless files goes through one workflow with no conversion step.

How accurate are the transcripts?

Scribe leads accuracy benchmarks, ahead of every major competing model. That accuracy holds on compressed MP3 audio, so recordings from older recorders and phone systems produce reliable transcripts. Speaker labels, word-level timestamps, and audio event tags come through intact, and results stay consistent across 90+ languages, accents, and dialects.

Can I edit the transcript after it's generated?

Click any word in the transcript to correct it in place, split or merge segments, and reassign speakers without leaving the page. Word-level timestamps keep even a three-hour MP3 navigable, so you search for a phrase, jump to that moment, and fix names or punctuation before exporting.

What export formats are available?

You export MP3 transcripts as TXT, DOCX, PDF, JSON, SRT, VTT, or HTML. Choose plain text for notes and documents, SRT or VTT for captions and subtitles, and JSON for feeding an archive index or a downstream pipeline. Every format keeps the workflow identical from one recording to the next.

Can I use this for multilingual content?

Scribe transcribes 90+ languages and detects each one automatically, even when a recording changes language partway through. Multilingual interviews, calls, and broadcasts come back as one coherent transcript, with speaker labels and word-level timestamps intact in every language, so nothing in a mixed-language collection needs special handling before upload.

Convert MP3 to text with AI

Not just transcription. Audio understanding

Archives are long, compressed, and rarely pristine. Scribe turns them into structured transcripts with speakers, timestamps, and context intact.

#1 Accuracy

MP3 compression strips audio detail, yet Scribe still outperforms every major streaming ASR service in class. Low-bitrate files from old devices come back as clean, readable text.

Edit the transcripts

Find a word in a three-hour transcript, click it, and fix it in place. Split and merge segments or reassign speakers without leaving the page.

Sensors pulsed with irregular patterns, the kind no algorithm could quite reconcile.

Wide variety of formats

Upload MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC, and OGG audio alongside MP4 and MOV video. Mixed folders go through one workflow, with no conversion pass first.

Audio Event Tagging

Scribe marks laughter, applause, and other non-speech sounds inside the transcript. In a broadcast archive, you see where the audience reacted, not just what was said.

Speaker Timestamps

Scribe labels up to 32 speakers and timestamps every word they say. Multi-party recorded calls come back with each voice attributed from start to finish.

“I use ElevenLabs primarily for transcribing audio messages, and I find its accuracy to be a major highlight. This precision allows me to analyze students' reading fluency effectively, even when the speaker is a young student still learning to read, which is crucial for understanding each student's progress.”
