10 Hours and 5 GB per File
No splitting, no per-minute fees.
transcriptions completed
Turn speech into perfect transcripts.
Speak, and clean text appears where you type. Record, and the summary is ready when the meeting ends. Upload any recording, and it comes back as searchable text. One subscription covers all three.
You came here so you wouldn’t type out that recording by hand, right? So why are you still typing the email? The report? The follow-up? Don’t type it. Say it. Whatever it is, it’s so much easier with 1Transcribe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about 1Transcribe.
What is OpenAI Whisper, and how does 1Transcribe use it?
Whisper is OpenAI's state-of-the-art speech-to-text model, trained on 680,000+ hours of multilingual audio. 1Transcribe runs the latest Whisper models on our servers so you get Whisper-quality transcription in your browser or app — no API keys, no setup, no GPU required. It's the fastest way to use Whisper to transcribe audio to text.
Is 1Transcribe better than running Whisper myself?
Whisper is open-source, but running it yourself means buying a GPU, managing models, writing scripts, and waiting hours on long files. 1Transcribe gives you the same Whisper accuracy in seconds, plus speaker identification, translation in 99+ languages, AI summaries, and one-click exports to Word, PDF, SRT, and TXT — all in your browser.
How does the Chrome extension work?
Install it, put your cursor in any text field on any site, and double-tap the shortcut. You speak, and polished text — filler words removed, punctuation added — is inserted where you were already typing. It works in Gmail, Slack, Notion, docs, forms, support tickets and AI prompts, without copying and pasting from another window.
Is dictation included, or is it a separate product?
It is included. One 1Transcribe subscription covers file transcription, live recording and dictation across the Chrome extension, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android — there is no second app to buy and no separate dictation bill. The free plan includes 10 dictations so you can try it before paying.
How accurate is the transcription?
We use OpenAI's advanced Whisper models to achieve 99.9% accuracy. Whisper outperforms traditional transcription services, especially with accents, technical terms, and background noise.
What is the file size and length limit?
We offer the highest limits in the industry. You can upload files up to 5GB in size and up to 10 hours in duration per file. Perfect for long meetings, lectures, and interviews.
Does it identify different speakers?
Yes! Our Speaker Identification (Diarization) feature automatically detects different speakers and labels them (e.g., Speaker A, Speaker B) in the transcript.
Is my data secure?
Absolutely. Your privacy is our priority. Files are processed securely and are NOT used to train any AI models. All files are automatically deleted from our servers after 14 days.
What languages are supported?
We support over 99 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, and many more. The system automatically detects the language of your audio.
Can I transcribe video files?
Yes, we accept all major video formats (MP4, MOV, AVI, etc.) in addition to audio formats (MP3, WAV, M4A, etc.). We also support extracting text from PDFs and Images.
Can I try it for free?
Yes! Files under 5 minutes are completely free to transcribe. For longer files (up to 10 hours), a subscription is required.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. You can upload and transcribe files under 5 minutes without creating an account or entering any payment details. You only pay if you choose a subscription for longer files.
Can I cancel my subscription or get a refund?
Yes. You can cancel anytime in one click from your account settings — no questions asked. If you're not satisfied, contact support and we'll make it right with a full refund.
What formats can I export to?
You can export your finished transcript to Microsoft Word (.docx), PDF (.pdf), Plain Text (.txt), and Subtitles (.srt).
