A TurboScribe alternative with no daily cap
TurboScribe's free plan gives you 3 files a day, 30 minutes each, one at a time, and puts you in a longer queue. This page runs in your browser instead — no queue, no cap, and nothing leaves your device.
Advanced options
This tool is built and verified for English. Other languages run on the same small model and are noticeably less accurate — expect to correct a lot of the output. Chinese comes out in Traditional characters.

Why the cap exists
TurboScribe transcribes on its servers. Every minute of audio costs them compute, so the free plan has to be rationed: three files a day, half an hour each, one upload at a time, and a slower queue than paid users. That is a reasonable trade for a hosted service, and the paid plan is a fair price if you need its accuracy, speaker labels or bulk features.
What changes when the compute is yours
When transcription runs in your own browser, there is no per-minute cost for anyone to recover — so the cap disappears entirely. There is no daily limit, no length limit, and no queue, because you are not sharing anything with other users.
- No daily file limit, no 30-minute limit
- No waiting behind other people's jobs
- Nothing uploaded — the file stays on your device
- Ten export formats, including ASS, LRC, TTML and CSV
- Batch queue: several files at once, each downloadable when it finishes
What you give up
Speed and convenience. Browser transcription is CPU-bound and single-threaded: about 0.6× realtime here, so a 30-minute recording takes roughly an hour. TurboScribe would finish it in a fraction of that on its servers. You also have to download ~75 MB once, and you should keep the tab open while a batch runs.
Speaker labels are also out of reach in a browser — diarization needs a second model that is not practical to run client-side.
FAQ
Is there really no daily limit?
None. There is no account, so there is nothing to count against.
How long can a single file be?
There is no imposed limit. In practice, keep files under about ten minutes: audio is decoded into memory and processing runs at roughly 0.6× realtime, so very long files are slow and memory-hungry.
Does it identify speakers?
No. That needs a separate diarization model, which is not practical in a browser.
Is my audio uploaded anywhere?
No. Processing is entirely local, and the tool works offline once the model is cached.
