About FastScribe

FastScribe is an AI-powered transcription service that converts audio, video, and public social media video links into text. It is aimed at content creators, podcasters, students, journalists, marketers, and teams who need recurring recording workflows turned into searchable text.

A user uploads an audio or video file, or pastes a link from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, or Facebook, and chooses the spoken language or automatic detection. FastScribe's AI converts the speech to timestamped text with speaker separation, then the transcript can be reviewed and exported.

FastScribe adds smart punctuation, text formatting, and speaker labels automatically, with optional profanity and filler-word filtering for supported English settings. It exports to DOCX, XLSX, SRT, and TXT formats, and can turn a transcript into a structured summary or mind map after transcription.

New accounts get 120 free signup credits valid for 30 days, and free accounts can start 3 transcription jobs per day with no credit card required. Paid one-time credit packages range from 1,200 credits for $9.9 to 15,000 credits for $69.9, alongside monthly and yearly subscription options.
