What TranscribeMe is
TranscribeMe converts audio and video into written transcripts using automatic speech recognition alongside human transcriptionists. Customers can choose automated, human-edited, extra-review, or verbatim transcription. The company says its Human Edited with Extra Review and Verbatim tiers guarantee 99% accuracy for audible words in high-quality audio. Transcription is available in 10 languages, with prices varying by language. Other services include translation, data annotation, and custom AI dataset work. Customers use an online portal or mobile apps; the company describes the service as online rather than a standalone program. Its REST API supports uploading recordings, creating transcription orders, and retrieving output. Listed integrations include NVivo and Evernote, and the iPhone app can import recordings from Dropbox and Voice Memos. Automated Transcription costs $0.07, paid once per audio minute and includes 30-second timestamps but no speaker IDs. Human Edited Transcription starts at $0.79, paid once per audio minute. The company says transcription data is encrypted and securely maintained; it also says its services support HIPAA protocols, GDPR, and CCPA. Specialized HIPAA workflows require pre-registration and setup.
