Which languages does LiteScribe support?

LiteScribe supports 99 languages with its transcription model - covering Global/US/British/Australian English plus major world languages (e.g., Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Hindi, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc.). Our system includes automatic language detection and code-switching between English and other languages, with language-aware formatting for global date, number, and punctuation standards.

What file formats can I upload?

You can upload both audio and video files in all popular formats including MP3, MP4, WAV, M4A, WebM, MOV, and more. Video files are automatically processed to extract the audio for transcription.

What AI features are available?

LiteScribe includes a unified speech-to-intelligence pipeline through the LLM Gateway, giving every plan free access to 14+ leading AI models, including GPT, Claude, and Gemini, with no API key needed. Features include speaker diarization, topic detection, AI summarization, sentiment analysis, action item extraction, and automatic punctuation and casing. These features help you understand and act on your content faster.

What is AI Chat and how does the Prompt Vault work?

AI Chat lets you combine multiple transcripts into a single conversation and ask questions across all of them. It uses RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) technology to deliver accurate, low-hallucination answers grounded in your actual transcript content. The Prompt Vault lets you save your best prompts and reuse them instantly with /commands - no more copy-pasting from external documents. The Prompt Wizard can also help you create expert-level prompts automatically.

Is my data private and secure?

Yes. Your recordings, uploaded files and transcripts are stored in Europe, and both live and file transcription are processed on European endpoints. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, is only accessible to you, and you can delete your files and transcripts at any time. The desktop app also has a fully offline Local Mode where transcription and the AI notes run on your own machine: the audio never leaves your computer, and the transcript stays there with it once you mark local transcripts private. Our privacy policy sets out which supporting services, such as payment processing and some AI features, run outside Europe.

How accurate is the transcription?

LiteScribe's Transcription Engine measures 94.1% word accuracy on real-world English audio, rising to about 95% in High Accuracy mode - a number we back up, not an inflated 99% claim - with strong performance across 99 languages. Our engine uses models that lead independent benchmarks for lowest word error rate and hallucination reduction - up to 30% fewer hallucinations compared to alternatives. Accuracy varies with audio quality, background noise, accents, and speaking clarity. You can always edit transcripts after they're generated.

What happens if I hit my monthly minutes limit?

If you reach your monthly minutes limit, you can either wait until your limit resets at the start of the next billing cycle, or upgrade to a plan with more minutes. You'll receive notifications as you approach your limit.

Wait, why do you call yourselves 'the second best transcript site'?

Great question! We noticed the #1 spot was pretty saturated with competition, so we thought: why not aim for #2 instead? Same features, same accuracy, same everything - just without the premium price tag. More bang for your buck, less ego, same results.

Offline-first · LiteScribe Engine

Transcribe with the internet off. And the cloud out of it.

The desktop app ships the full LiteScribe local stack - the LiteScribe Local Transcription Engine plus LiteScribe Local LLM Models (Small to X-Large) that write your summaries and action items. Everything - the transcription AND the AI enrichment - happens on your own CPU or GPU. Your audio never leaves the machine, and not a word of your conversation reaches a third-party AI company. The transcript syncs to your own LiteScribe account so you can reach it anywhere, or stays on the device with the audio the moment you mark local transcripts private. Local Mode is included with Starter, Pro and Business, and for 30 days with any minute pack.

Got questions?

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about LiteScribe

What is the Chrome extension and how does it work?

Our Chrome extension lets you record screen and audio from any meeting platform (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, etc.) through browser capture directly from your browser. Recordings automatically sync to your LiteScribe dashboard for transcription and AI enrichment. The extension captures both system audio and microphone for complete recordings.

Which social media platforms do you support?

LiteScribe supports transcription from 70+ platforms including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, Vimeo, Twitch, Reddit, SoundCloud, Spotify (podcasts), Apple Podcasts, Zoom, Loom, and many more. Simply paste a link from any supported platform and we'll extract the audio and transcribe it automatically. No need to download videos manually - just paste the link and get your transcript.

Can I connect my cloud storage accounts?

Yes! You can connect Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive to your LiteScribe account. Once connected, you can browse and select files directly from your cloud storage to transcribe - no need to download files first. Your connection is secure and you can disconnect at any time.

What is speaker diarization?

Speaker diarization detects multiple speakers in an audio file and identifies what each speaker said. You receive a list of utterances, where each utterance corresponds to an uninterrupted segment of speech from a single speaker. This makes it easy to see who said what, especially useful for meetings, interviews, and multi-person conversations.

Still have questions? We're here to help. Contact support

Local Mode · Pro and Business

Your recordings do not have to leave your machine

LiteScribe transcribes in the cloud by default, which is the fastest way to start. The desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux also has a Local Mode where both the speech model and the AI model run on your own hardware, so it can do fully offline transcription with the network disconnected. Your audio never leaves the machine, and the transcript stays there with it once you mark local transcripts private.

That makes it a real option for confidential interviews, board recordings and regulated work. Read how private transcription keeps recordings on your device, or see what Local Mode runs on your machine for the hardware it needs and the parts that still use the cloud.
