Have you ever spent hours trying to convert an audio or video interview into text, losing valuable time you would have rather used for more important tasks?
Or are you fed up with expensive transcription services or freelancers?
Then read on!
Because there are now many great AI-powered transcription software options that can help you automatically create accurate and readable texts from your audio material.
And often without much post-processing effort! The market around transcription software is booming – tools are improving rapidly.
In this blog article, we present the 8 best AI transcription software options, all of which are (with limitations) free to use.
- ElevenLabs combines AI transcription with text-to-speech in one platform – ideal for content creators
- Sonix.ai impresses with good transcription quality and 38 supported languages for $10/hour
- All tools achieve 80-95% accuracy and offer free trial versions – some post-processing is always necessary, but the time savings are enormous
1. What is Transcription Software?
Transcription software are computer programs or apps designed to convert spoken language into written text.
They are suitable for transcribing many different audio and video formats, such as interviews, podcasts, seminars, workshops, video tutorials, or online meetings.
In general, transcription solutions can be divided into three categories:
- Non-automated transcription software is usually free or cheap, but very time-consuming since you have to write the transcript yourself. However, they offer useful features like timestamps, slowed playback speed, or text templates to make your work easier.
- Automated transcription software is usually paid or has limited free usage, but it saves you a lot of time and effort by creating the transcript for you. However, you always need to review and possibly correct the automatically generated transcript as it may contain errors. Accuracy depends on the quality of the audio recording, the accent or dialect of the speakers, the level of background noise, and technical vocabulary.
- Transcription services are another option where you can send your audio recording to professional transcribers who will create the transcript for you. This is the option with the highest transcription quality. However, it is significantly more expensive and involves longer wait times.
How Good is Today's Transcription Software?
Current automated, i.e., AI-based transcription software achieves accuracy between 80 and 95% (depending on input quality, software used, and language).
The best results are obtained (of course) when using the English language, as many providers come from the USA or other English-speaking countries and the English-speaking market is the largest and therefore most important.
This means they usually require some post-processing. However, AI transcription software is getting better and better, and with the current rapid development in the AI field, it can be expected that they will work almost error-free in two or perhaps three years, including for other languages.

3. Detailed Test Results
For the transcription quality test, we recorded the first two paragraphs of Sebastian Fitzek's "Elternabend" (a German audiobook).
We deliberately chose a less isolated room and only used the built-in microphone of a MacBook Pro 2015 to simulate an everyday situation.
Test audio file:
Lassen Sie mich diese Geschichte an der Stelle beginnen, an der sie hätte enden sollen. Um 16.44 Uhr an einem extrem heißen Sommertag in einer kleinen Einbahnstraße in der Heerstraßensiedlung im Südwesten Berlins. Ich saß hinter dem Lenkrad eines Hundertzwanzigtausend-Euro-Geländewagens, von der albernen Sorte, die in echtem Gelände etwa so offroad-tauglich ist wie ein Liegefahrrad im Dschungel, der von einem völlig bescheuerten Kleinkriminellen aufgebrochen worden war. Ich war dabei, einen Brief zu schreiben. Auf meinem Schoß lag eine in Papier eingewickelte, langstielige blaue Hortensie, und um meinen Hals schlackerte ein lederner Hosengürtel. Die Frau, die sich mir und damit dem parkenden Stadtpanzer näherte, steckte in brombeerfarbenen Yogashorts, die so eng anlagen, dass sie sie wohl vor einen Tannenbaumtrichter gespannt hatte und hindurchgesprungen war, um in sie reinzukommen. An den eher zierlichen Füßen klebten Joggingschuhe in Neonquietschpink. Ein tailliertes, aus Schweiß absorbierendem Slimfit-Stoff gedrechseltes Oberteil mit dem Aufdruck „Save our Planet" komplettierte ihr Sportoutfit.3.1 ElevenLabs

ElevenLabs has been known primarily for its realistic AI voices. Newly added is a transcription function that combines speech-to-text and text-to-speech in one platform.
And it's impressive:
It's not only affordable but also very accurate and has been able to beat all other transcription software in the test (even Sonix, which was in first place for a long time).
This makes ElevenLabs particularly suitable for content creators who want to process audio and text in one workflow.
ElevenLabs supports many languages. There's also a free trial version that lets you convince yourself of the quality:
User Interface and Operation
The design is modern and minimalist. The transcription works quickly, and operation doesn't require much learning time:

Particularly practical: From the transcript, you can create natural-sounding speech output with just a few clicks – ideal for subtitles, voiceovers, or podcasts.
And if extra precision is needed: In addition to automated AI transcription, you can also book professional transcription atElevenLabs, which is created by real people within 48 hours.

You can also place the transcript directly as subtitles under the audio file. This is well implemented and works with just a few clicks, making podcasts or interviews immediately more accessible. ElevenLabs offers various export formats: PDF, DOCX, JSON, HTML, SRT, and VTT. This allows you to use the transcripts flexibly – for text documents, websites, or subtitles.
Weaknesses
- The transcription function is still relatively new and offers fewer editing options than established tools.
- Longer audio files require an upgrade depending on the plan, as the free limits are quickly reached.
Test Results
In our test with Sebastian Fitzek's "Elternabend", ElevenLabs achieved a character accuracy of 98.11% and a word accuracy of 90.26% – the best result in the test.
Lassen Sie mich diese Geschichte an der Stelle beginnen, an der sie hätte enden sollen. Um 16:44 Uhr(16.44 Uhr) an einem extrem heißen Sommertag in einer kleinen Einbahnstraße in der Heerstraßensiedlung im Südwesten Berlins.
Ich saß hinter dem Lenkrad eines hundertzwanzigtausend Euro(Hundertzwanzigtausend-Euro-)Geländewagens von der albernen Sorte, die in echtem Gelände etwa so Offroad-tauglich(offroad-tauglich) ist wie ein Liegefahrrad im Dschungel, der von einem völlig bescheuerten Kleinkriminellen aufgebrochen worden war. Ich war dabei, einen Brief zu schreiben. Auf meinem Schoß lag eine in Papier eingewickelte, langstielige blaue Hortensie und um meinenummeinen Hals schlackerte ein lederner Hosengürtel.
Die Frau, die sich mir und damit dem parkenden Stadtpanzer näherte, steckte in brombeerfarbenen YogaShorts(Yogashorts), die so eng anlagen, dass sie sie wohl vor einem(einen) Tannenbaumtrichter gespannt hatte und hindurchgesprungen war, um in sie reinzukommen. An den eher zierlichenerzieherlichen Füßen klebten Joggingschuhe in Neonquietschpink. Ein tailliertes, aus schweißabsorbierendem Slim Fit(Slimfit-)Stoff gedrechseltes Oberteil mit dem Aufdruck "Save our Planet"(„Save our Planet") komplettierte ihr Sportoutfit.Assessment
ElevenLabs delivers an overall structurally consistent transcript with few major outliers. Punctuation is mostly correct, only with compound words like "Hundertzwanzigtausend-Euro-Geländewagen" are there minor inconsistencies.
Occasionally semantic errors occur – for example, "zierlichen Füßen" (delicate feet) became "erzieherliche Füße" (educational feet). Some typos ("ummeinen Hals") are also found but can be quickly corrected.
Positively, ElevenLabs hardly swallows or recombines sentences. This makes post-processing more predictable and saves time when creating a finished manuscript from the transcript.
3.2 Sonix.ai

Sonix.ai is the AI transcription software that performed very well in the test. It impresses with high accuracy, fast transcription speed, and easy operation.
Sonix.ai supports transcription in over 38 languages. If you're skeptical, you can try it out with a free trial version.
The design is clear and user-friendly. The only downside is that the user interface is only available in English:

The interactive editor also leaves nothing to be desired. We quickly found our way around and could work flawlessly with it. And for everyone with a Google account: Signing up for Sonix.ai is lightning fast.
Another plus:
Sonix.ai provides you with an overview of the expected transcript quality immediately after file upload:

But there are also some limitations:
- There is an upload limit of 4 GB for files.
- Sonix only offers automatic transcriptions, so you can't have your transcriptions created or corrected directly by freelancers if the quality isn't right (this didn't lead to point deductions in the test).
The transcription of Sebastian Fitzek's "Elternabend" achieved a character accuracy of 94.43% and a word accuracy of 83.44%.
Lassen Sie mich diese Geschichte an der Stelle beginnen, an der sie hätte enden sollen. Um 16:44,(16.44 Uhr) an einem extrem heißen Sommertag, in einer kleinen Einbahnstraße in der Heerstraßensiedlung im Südwesten Berlins.
Ich saß hinter dem Lenkrad eines 120.000 €(Hundertzwanzigtausend-Euro-)Geländewagens von der albernen Sorte, die in echtem Gelände etwa so offroad-tauglich ist wie ein Liegefahrrad im Dschungel, der von einem völlig bescheuerten Kleinkriminellen aufgebrochen worden war. Ich war dabei, einen Brief zu schreiben. Auf meinem Schoß lag ein(eine in) Papier eingewickelte, langstielige blaue Hortensie, und um meinen Hals schlackert(schlackerte) ein lederner Hosengürtel.
Die Frau, die sich mir und damit dem parkenden Stadtpanzer näherte, steckte in brombeerfarbenen Yoga Shorts(Yogashorts), die so eng an lagen(anlagen), dass sie sie wohl vor einem Tannenbaum trichtergespannt(Tannenbaumtrichter gespannt) hatte und hindurch gesprungen(hindurchgesprungen) war, um in sie reinzukommen. An den eher zierlichen Füßen klebten Joggingschuhe in Neonquietschpink, ein teiliertes(Ein tailliertes), aus schweißabsorbierendem Slim Fit(Slimfit-)Stoff gedrechselten(gedrechseltes) Oberteil mit dem Aufdruck "Save our Planet"(„Save our Planet") komplettierte ihr Sportoutfit.Sonix.ai has significantly fewer problems with punctuation than other tools, but tends to separate words that should be written together and writes words together that should be separate. This surprised us a bit, but it's not a big deal as it can easily be corrected with a grammar checking tool.
If you look at just the first 2/3 of the text (i.e., avoiding the complicated word formations), a very convincing transcript can be seen here.
3.3 Beey

With Beey, you can either directly upload audio or video files or simply use links from YouTube or Facebook. Thanks to artificial intelligence, Beey delivers a transcript quickly and accurately.

Plus: It supports 30 languages, including German, English, and Spanish. With the integrated editor, you can customize your transcript online and even add timestamps.
It's also very easy to transform the transcript into subtitles matching your video or audio file and download everything in various file formats.
Sounds good? There are more advantages: There's a free trial version, transcription is super fast, and the user interface is really user-friendly.
But no tool is perfect. Manual transcriptions are not possible here, and the website's translation could use a small update.
Our test audio file was transcribed by Beey as follows:
Lassen sie(Lassen Sie) mich diese Geschichte an der Stelle beginnen, an der sie hätte enden sollen. Um 16 Uhr 44(16.44 Uhr) an einem extrem heißen Sommertag in einer kleinen Einbahnstraße in der heerstraßensiedlung(Heerstraßensiedlung) im Südwesten Berlins.
Ich saß hinter dem Lenkrad eines 120.000 Euro Geländewagens von der albernen sorte(Sorte), die in echtem Gelände etwa so aufrotauglich(offroad-tauglich) ist wie ein Liegefahrrad im Dschungel, der von einem völlig beschschauten kleinkriminellen(bescheuerten Kleinkriminellen) aufgebrochen worden war. Ich war dabei, ein Brief(einen Brief) zu schreiben auf meinem schoß lag einen Papier(. Auf meinem Schoß lag eine in Papier) eingewickelte, langsielige blauehortensähe(langstielige blaue Hortensie), und um meinen Hals schlackerte ein lederner hosengürtel(Hosengürtel).
die Frau(Die Frau), die sich mir und damit dem parkenden stadtpanzer(Stadtpanzer) näherte, steckte in brombeerfarbenen yogashorts(Yogashorts), die so eng Anlagen(anlagen), dass sie sie wohl vor einem tannenbaumtrichter(Tannenbaumtrichter) gespannt hatte und hindurchgesprungen war, um in sie reinzukommen. An den erzihlichen Füßen(eher zierlichen Füßen) klebten joggingschuhe(Joggingschuhe) in Neonquietschpink ein detailliertes(Neonquietschpink. Ein tailliertes), aus Schweiß absorbierendem simfitzstoff(schweißabsorbierendem Slimfit-Stoff) gedrechseltes Oberteil mit dem Aufdruck "Save our Planet"(„Save our Planet") komplettierte ihr sportortwind(Sportoutfit).The transcription achieved a character accuracy of 92.46% and a word accuracy of 78.43%. A weakness of Beey is capitalization and punctuation. We were surprised that words like "Neonquietschpink", "brombeerfarbenen Yogashorts" and "Tannenbaumtrichter" were basically correct but unfortunately transcribed incorrectly due to missing capital letters at the beginning of words.
3.4 Nova A.I.

Automatic video transcriptions online? Nova A.I. has exactly that on offer.
Once you're on the platform, simply go to the "Subtitles" section. Select the "Auto-Subtitles" function and get automatic video transcriptions in just a few minutes. How long it takes naturally depends on the length of your video. But typically, Nova can convert 2 hours of video audio into text in just 10 minutes. Provided the audio file is error-free.
But Nova can do more than just transcribe. It's also a simple but powerful video editing program. You can edit videos directly online on your laptop or PC. Cloud storage ensures you don't have to download huge programs and your videos are securely stored in the library.
Nova A.I. particularly excels with content for TikTok, Facebook Stories, short clips, online courses, and much more. Almost as if you were in a large production studio.
However, the tool also has some disadvantages:
The video analysis function must be activated upon request, the free version adds watermarks, and unfortunately there's no mobile version, so you need a computer to edit your videos.
Also a bit annoying is that Nova doesn't create a separate transcription of the audio as a text file but directly adds subtitles to the video, which led to point deductions:

The transcribed version of the two paragraphs from Sebastian Fitzek's "Elternabend" achieved a character accuracy of 94.17% and a word accuracy of 85.16%.
The percentage doesn't seem particularly high at first glance. However, on closer inspection, serious errors only occur at two points that definitely need to be post-processed. "Kleinkriminellen" became "kleinen Kriminellen" and "eher zierlichen Füßen" became "erzieherlichen Füßen":
Lassen Sie mich diese Geschichte an der Stelle beginnen, an der sie hätte enden sollen, um 16.44 Uhr an einem extrem heißen Sommertag in einer kleinen Einbahnstraße in der Herrstraßensiedlung(Heerstraßensiedlung) im Südwesten Berlins.
Ich saß hinter dem Lenkrad eines 120.000 Euro Geländewagens von der albernen Sorte, die in echtem Gelände etwa so Offroad-tauglich(offroad-tauglich) ist wie ein Liegefahrrad im Dschungel, der von einem völlig bescheuerten kleinen Kriminellen(Kleinkriminellen) aufgebrochen worden war. Ich war dabei, einen Brief zu schreiben. Auf meinem Schoß lag eine in Papier eingewickelte, langstielige, blaue Hortensie, und um meinen Hals schlackerte ein lederner Hosengürtel.
Die Frau, die sich mir und damit dem parkenden Stadtpanzer näherte, steckte in Brombeerfarbenen Yoga-Shorts(brombeerfarbenen Yogashorts), die so eng anlagen, dass sie sich(sie sie) wohl vor einem Tannenbaumtrichter gespannt hatte und hindurchgesprungen war, um in sie reinzukommen. An den erzieherlichen(eher zierlichen) Füßen klebten Joggingschuhe in Neon-Quietsch-Pink(Neonquietschpink). Ein tailliertes, aus schweißabsorbierendem Slimfit Stoff(Slimfit-Stoff) gedrechseltes Oberteil mit dem Aufdruck "SAVE OUR PLANET"(„Save our Planet") kompletierte(komplettierte) ihr Sportoutfit.Otherwise, Nova is surprisingly good and avoided many of the stumbling blocks that other tools hit.
3.5 Otter.ai

Otter.ai should be interesting for many looking for a purely English-language transcription service. Using cutting-edge technology, including artificial intelligence, it transforms audio and video files into readable text.
Ideal when you need meetings or conversations quickly in written form.

You can upload files directly from your computer or connect Otter with platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams to accompany the meeting live.
Otter.ai recognizes different speakers and formats the text automatically. Useful: You can add special vocabulary so that specific names or terms are captured correctly.
In the app, you can customize everything to your preferences after transcription. It allows you to play audio at different speeds or even add images and comments.
Integration is another plus of Otter.ai. It fits seamlessly with popular calendar and meeting tools. Price-wise it's quite attractive: 300 minutes per month are free, and for just $8.33 you get 20 hours of material. By the way, if you have a Google account, signing up is a breeze.
However, there are also limitations: Otter.ai is focused on English and not suitable for everything – for example, not for transcribing YouTube videos or content in other languages.
3.6 Amberscript

Amberscript also provides AI transcription software. The provider offers you not only automatic but also manual transcriptions, which are then done by humans and not by artificial intelligence.
Simply upload your audio or video files or link them from Google Drive or YouTube, and in no time you'll have a transcript in hand. The whole thing works for 39 different languages.

A few features that will make your life easier: The interactive editor allows you to edit and share your transcripts. Timestamps and conversion to subtitles? No problem. And if you want to highlight important passages, text highlighting makes it easy.
An integrated spell checker also ensures everything is correct (this can even be turned on and off with a click if you use many words the tool doesn't know because you're in a very specialized niche).
Advantages? The automatic transcription is fast and accurate. The interface is user-friendly, plus there's a good demo version. And for everyone with a Google account: Signing up is a breeze.
Of course, Amberscript also has a few smaller disadvantages. With less than ideal audio quality, automatic transcription can sometimes stumble. Price-wise, Amberscript is rather on the higher end. And sometimes the translations aren't quite on point:
Lassen sie(Lassen Sie) mich diese Geschichte an der Stelle beginnen, an der sie hätte enden sollen, um 16 44(16.44 Uhr), an einem extrem heißen Sommertag in einer kleinen Einbahnstraße in der Heerstraße Siedlung(Heerstraßensiedlung) im Südwesten Berlins.
Ich saß hinter dem Lenkrad eines 120000 €(Hundertzwanzigtausend-Euro-)Geländewagens von der albernen Sorte, die in echten Geländer(echtem Gelände) etwa so tauglich(offroad-tauglich) ist wie ein Liegefahrrad im Junge(Dschungel), der von einem völlig bescheuerten Kleinkriminellen aufgebrochen worden war. Ich war dabei, einen Brief zu schreiben. Auf meinem Schoß lag ein Papier(eine in Papier) eingewickelte langstielige(langstielige) blaue Hortensie, und um meinen Hals schlackerte ein Leder nach Hosengürtel(lederner Hosengürtel).
Die Frau, die sich mir und da mit dem parkenden Stadt Panzer(damit dem parkenden Stadtpanzer) näherte, steckte in Brombeerefarbene Yoga, hat(brombeerfarbenen Yogashorts) die so eng Anlagen(anlagen), dass sie sich(sie sie) wohl vor einem Tannenbaum Trichter(Tannenbaumtrichter) gespannt hatte und hindurch gesprungen(hindurchgesprungen) war, um in sie reinzukommen. An den erziehlichen(eher zierlichen) Füßen klebten Joggingschuhe in nen Quatsch Pink(Neonquietschpink). Ein tailliertes, aus Schweiß absorbierenden Slimfit Stoff gedrechselte(schweißabsorbierendem Slimfit-Stoff gedrechseltes) Oberteil mit dem Aufdruck safe Planet(„Save our Planet") komplettierte ihr Sportart fit(Sportoutfit).The transcription achieved a character accuracy of 90.31% and a word accuracy of 73.01%. Amberscript makes many errors in spelling and punctuation.
3.7 Descript

Descript offers you two options: a fast automatic transcription where you simply upload your audio or video files and get a transcript quite quickly. But if you want to get the maximum accuracy, there's also the manual option.
Your files are edited by real professionals and you receive a top result within 24 hours – of course, this no longer has anything to do with AI.

What's pretty cool:
The interactive editor. With it, you can not only edit your transcript but also share it, add timestamps, or even convert it to subtitles. And for all those who like to experiment, there are some creative extras like effects, music, and voice changes.
Sounds good? Here's a quick overview of the pros and cons: The great thing about Descript is the fast and accurate automatic transcription and – a plus – there's a free trial version. Operation is child's play and the additional features are really useful.
But everything has its downsides. Manual transcription is super accurate but costs more. And if the audio quality isn't great or there's a lot of background noise, automatic transcription can also falter. Additionally, you need to download Descript from the internet and install it locally, as the transcription function doesn't work in the browser application.

With Descript, entire words are skipped or heavily abbreviated, which distorts the meaning of the transcript.
3.8 Speak

Speak advertises several features that could be unique selling points:
Your audio, video, and text files transform into appealing and shareable content. Think bar charts and automatic summaries. And if you want to bring content online, there's even a direct WordPress integration to make your transcriptions SEO-optimized.

Even if you want to customize voices, Speak offers features that no other tool has. With Speak, you can vary the gender and age of voices to ideally match your story.
Unfortunately, the transcription is not usable:
"Lassen Sie mich diese Geschichte an der Stelle beginnen. An der sie hätte enden. Sollen. Um 16:44 Uhr. An einem extrem. Heißen Sommertag. In einer Kleinen. Einbahnstraße. In der Heerstraße.

The transcript is provided with timestamps in Speak's editor, but the problem is that every word is given a period. The transcript is barely readable and therefore practically unusable.
4. What Should Good Transcription Software Offer?
Here are the most important aspects that transcription tools should provide:
- High accuracy: This is essential. The software should be able to reliably and precisely convert speech to text.
- Support for multiple languages: A versatile tool should support many different languages and dialects.
- Fast processing time: No one wants to wait hours for a transcript. The faster, the better.
- User-friendliness: An intuitive user interface that is easy to use even for beginners makes the transcription process smoother.
- Interactive editor: The ability to edit and correct transcripts after automatic creation is essential.
- Timestamps: They help to quickly locate specific parts of the audio or video material.
- Speaker distinction: For conversations or discussions, the software should be able to distinguish between different speakers.
- Integration with other platforms: Seamless integration with common platforms like Zoom, YouTube, or Google Drive increases convenience.
- Privacy and security: Since many audio and video files may contain sensitive information, privacy is a must.
- Export options: Users should be able to export their transcripts in various formats (e.g., TXT, PDF, SRT).
If a transcription software has most or all of these features and characteristics, it can be considered a good choice. However, it always depends on your individual requirements and use case which features are most important to you.
