SozAI turns speech into text in 99 languages and detects the language by itself. It labels the speakers automatically and adds timestamps.
Record in the room with the app on iPhone, iPad, Android or Mac, or in the browser at web.sozai.app. Upload an audio or video file of up to 500 MB, or paste a YouTube link and get the transcript without downloading the video.
On a Mac, the Meeting mode records a call in Zoom, Teams, Meet or any other app from the computer's sound and shows the text as it comes. No bot joins the call.
From each transcript SozAI makes a summary, structured notes, flashcards and a quiz. You can chat with the transcript or translate it. The apps export PDF, TXT, SRT, VTT and JSON; web.sozai.app exports TXT, SRT and VTT.
For recordings and files of about an hour, the median wait for the transcript was 1.2 minutes over the last 30 days. Our accuracy test in 10 languages is published with its method and per-file data: read the accuracy test.
The first 30 minutes are free, once. Premium is from $4.99 a week or $79.99 a year and includes up to 700 hours of transcription. The free tools on sozai.app work in the browser without an account.
Pros
Cons
SozAI uses modern ASR stacks and gives you practical accuracy improvements via custom vocabulary and speaker diarization that help multi-speaker files. While SozAI doesn’t publish a single accuracy percentage, the combination of summaries, custom vocab, and diarization makes it especially useful for interviews, podcasts, and lectures where labeling speakers and preserving context matters more than a single-percent accuracy claim.
TurboScribe supports 98+ languages and emphasizes broad coverage in a web-native editor. For many global users that breadth is sufficient and the browser experience makes switching languages straightforward.
Both tools make YouTube ingestion easy; choose TurboScribe for the fastest in-browser capture and SozAI if you want mobile access, speaker diarization, and integrated mobile-to-web editing.
TurboScribe positions itself around a true unlimited plan: you can get unlimited minutes for a low annual price (advertised at $10/mo when billed annually) or pay $20/mo month-to-month. That flat-rate unlimited model is compelling if you transcribe large volumes and prefer a single per-seat subscription without minute caps.
TurboScribe supports a broad set of exports (PDF, DOCX, TXT, CSV, SRT, VTT) and allows large uploads (up to 5 GB or 10 hours per file). The web editor includes clickable timestamps and ChatGPT-powered summaries, which streamlines review and publishing workflows for journalists and podcasters who edit in the browser.
Both tools export usable formats for publishing, but the right choice depends on whether you prioritize larger file support and export variety (TurboScribe) or mobile recording, diarization, and integrated custom vocab (SozAI).
SozAI offers native iOS and Android apps so you can record, transcribe, and edit from your phone — ideal for field work and interviews.
SozAI Premium, from $4.99 per week or from $79.99 per year, gives up to 700 hours of transcription, exports, and custom vocabulary.
TurboScribe’s unlimited plan (especially the annual price) is tailored for high-volume desktop users who want flat-rate access.
