Scribetape

A TurboScribe alternativefor links and long streams.

TurboScribe is built around uploading files. Scribetape starts from a link: paste a Twitch, Kick, YouTube, Spotify or Apple Podcasts link and we fetch the audio ourselves. One recording can run up to 24 hours, and the first 30 minutes are free without an account. If you upload lots of files every month, TurboScribe's flat price is probably the better deal, and this page says so.

  3. 3
    Search and export

    Search the spoken words, jump to the moment in the source, and export TXT, DOCX, SRT or VTT, or a PDF from the print dialog.
