Scored by a Toolio reviewer after real useOur verdict
TurboScribe, behind this Transcription Transcribe extension, turns audio or video into text or subtitles and can translate the result into well over a hundred languages, with speaker recognition built in for meetings and interviews. Privacy is handled by keeping data on your Google account rather than a central database, and files are automatically deleted each day. That auto-delete habit means anyone wanting a permanent transcript archive needs to save copies themselves, and everything runs as a Chrome add-on rather than a separate app.
✓What it does well
Wide language coverageRecognizes speech in 98+ languages and translates transcripts into 134+ languages.
Speaker recognitionIdentifies who's speaking, useful for meetings, interviews, and podcasts.
Privacy-first storageKeeps data tied to your Google account and encrypts files instead of storing them centrally.
✕Where it falls short
Auto-deleted filesTranscripts and files are deleted automatically every day unless you save them yourself, so nothing sits around long-term without action.
No central archiveData isn't kept in the provider's database at all, meaning there's no built-in archive to browse past jobs later.
Chrome add-on onlyIt's a browser add-on rather than a standalone app, so transcription happens only within Chrome.
