Frequently asked questions

What is HeyScribe?
HeyScribe is a speech to text app that runs in your browser. It has four tools in one place: voice typing for writing by voice, live transcription for meetings and lectures, file transcription for audio and video, and link transcription for YouTube and media URLs.
Is HeyScribe free?
You can start for free. The free plan includes 20 minutes and no credit card is needed. Upgrade when you need more minutes.
How accurate is the transcription?
With clear audio, accuracy is high, and you can edit anything that is wrong. Background noise, strong accents and overlapping speakers lower accuracy, so skim transcripts you plan to publish or rely on.
Which languages does it support?
Live speech and voice typing support 50+ languages. Files and links support 90+ languages, with automatic language detection.
Do I need to install anything?
No. HeyScribe works in current versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox on desktop and mobile. You can also add it to your home screen or desktop as an app.
Is my audio kept?
Voice typing and live transcription do not keep audio recordings. Files you upload are stored in cloud storage so they can be transcribed. The privacy policy explains what is processed, by whom, and how you can delete your data.
