ScribeToAny — AI Transcription with Speaker Labels and Subtitle Exports

What is ScribeToAny?

ScribeToAny is a browser-based transcription service operated by Scribe Saas, LLC. It converts audio and video files into timestamped text, with optional speaker identification and AI-based audio restoration. The service is aimed at content creators, podcasters, journalists, researchers, and developers — anyone who needs subtitles, meeting notes, or transcript pipelines. Its site is published in 21 languages, reflecting a stated focus on non-English speakers: transcription supports roughly 98 languages with automatic detection, finished transcripts can be translated into more than 134 languages via Google Translate, and any audio can be transcribed directly into English on all plans. Payments are handled through Stripe.

How ScribeToAny Works

The workflow has four steps. First, upload an audio or video file over HTTPS (stored encrypted) or submit a public link. Second, transcribe with optional speaker recognition and a language choice. Third, review and edit segments in the browser editor, where clicking a segment replays that exact audio moment. Fourth, export in the desired format or translate the result. Exports cover TXT, SRT, VTT, TSV, CSV, JSON, PDF, and DOCX, with multi-file exports delivered as a ZIP. Translation preserves timings, so translated subtitles stay synchronized with the media. Developers get an MCP server (at /api/mcp) with OAuth 2.1 that lets apps such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor read transcripts, check job status, and start transcriptions.

Main Features

• ~98-language transcription — automatic language detection with optional direct transcription into English on all plans.
• Speaker labeling — optional diarization per job separates who said what.
• AI audio restoration — optional cleanup of noisy source audio before transcription.
• Click-to-replay browser editor — verify and correct segments against the exact audio moment.
• Eight export formats — TXT, SRT, VTT, TSV, CSV, JSON, PDF, and DOCX; multi-file exports as ZIP.
• 134+-language translation — free translation of finished transcripts with timings preserved for synchronized subtitles.
• MCP server integration — OAuth 2.1 endpoint for ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor to read transcripts and start jobs.

Pricing

ScribeToAny's pricing combines a free tier, subscriptions, and one-time packs. Free: 2 transcriptions per day, 100 minutes per month, up to 30 minutes per file, no credit card required. Plus: $10/month or $88/year with unlimited daily transcriptions, 1,500 minutes per month, 360-minute files, and 6 parallel jobs. Pro: $20/month or $120/year, raising the monthly cap to 3,000 minutes with the same file and parallel limits. One-time packs (no subscription) offer 300 minutes for $5, 800 minutes for $10, or 2,000 minutes for $20, valid 365 days. Buying a pack replaces the free monthly minutes and lifts limits to paid-tier levels.

Common Use Cases

• Podcast and video subtitles — SRT/VTT exports with speaker labels and synchronized translations.
• Interviews and research — timestamped, searchable transcripts for journalism and qualitative research.
• Meeting notes — recording-to-text with per-transcript AI summary and chat for quick review.
• Multilingual workflows — transcribing non-English audio directly to English or translating finished transcripts.
• Developer integrations — starting and monitoring transcriptions from AI apps through the MCP server.

Limitations

Completed payments are non-refundable; users can only cancel to stop future charges. Link-based transcription does not support YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram URLs, so content from those platforms must be uploaded as files the user possesses. Original media is automatically deleted after transcription — good for privacy, but the source cannot be recovered if a re-transcription is needed. The optional AI summary and chat features send transcript text to a third-party model via OpenRouter. Connected MCP apps act as the user and can start transcriptions that count against the plan. Free-plan minute packs replace the free monthly minutes rather than stacking on top.

Summary

ScribeToAny is a well-documented, mid-priced transcription platform whose strengths are language coverage, a genuinely useful free tier, flexible one-time minute packs, and a workflow that runs entirely in the browser from upload to subtitle export. The MCP server is a differentiator for developers wiring transcription into AI tools. The constraints to weigh are the no-refund policy on completed payments, missing support for major social-platform links, auto-deletion of source media, and third-party processing for AI summaries. For podcasters, researchers, and multilingual teams, it covers the full transcript lifecycle at a predictable cost.
