Frequently asked questions

Which AI tool is best for transcribing audio to text?

For most files, TurboScribe is a good place to start: it is simple, supports Russian, long recordings, video, and export. For meetings, Fireflies AI or Otter ai can be more convenient; for podcasts and editing workflows, consider Descript, Riverside, or Sonix.

Can I transcribe audio for free?

Yes, some services offer free minutes or a trial mode. Free access usually limits file length, the number of minutes per day, or processing speed. For a one-time task, that is often enough.

Which audio formats are suitable for transcription?

The most common supported formats are MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, and MOV. If a service does not accept your file, you can first convert it to MP3 or MP4 and then upload it again.

Can AI recognize Russian speech?

Yes, but the quality depends on the service and the recording. TurboScribe, Whisper, and Sonix are better suited for Russian speech than tools designed mainly for English-language meetings.

What should I do if the audio is transcribed with errors?

Improve the source file: reduce noise, choose the correct language, split a long recording into parts, and manually check names, terms, and numbers. The cleaner the voice and the less background noise, the more accurate the result.

What is the difference between transcription and dictation?

Transcription works with an existing file or a recorded meeting, while dictation turns live speech into text as you speak. For an old recording, use a transcription service; for writing by voice, use dictation.
