an open source audio and video transcription software
Note:
While transcribee is certainly not "finished" or bug-free, it should be good enough for everyday transcription tasks. Please try it and tell us how it goes
transcribee 🐝 aims to make the workflow for media transcription easier, faster and more accessible.
- It can automatically generate a draft transcript of your audio
- It allows you to quickly improve the automatic draft and fix any errors
- It's collaborative – split the work with your friends or colleagues
- It's open-source
Transcribee can be currently tried out in different ways:
- You can sign up for the beta instance of transcribee that is hosted by us. This is the easiest way if you don't want to fiddle with the underlaying technology.
- You can self host transcribee on your computer or a server. If you do this, your data will not be shared with any third parties (us) but requires some technical knowledge to set up.
To get started with developing or to try the current state of transcribee, follow the instructions in the development setup document.
Creating a transcript with transcribee 🐝 is done with the following steps:
-
Import your media file
During import, your audio file is automatically converted to text using state-of-the-art models1. transcribee 🐝 also automatically detects different speakers in your file.
-
Manually improve the transcript
After the automatic transcript is created, you can edit it to correct any mistakes the automatic transcription made.2 You can also name the speakers.
Since transcribee 🐝 is a collaborative software, you can do this step (and all other manual steps) together with others. All changes are instantly synced with everyone working on the transcript.
Note:
Concurrent editing of transcripts is currently resulting in some very bad performance problems. See #380
-
Export
Once you are happy with the transcript, you can export it.
