The tool uses artificial intelligence to transcribe files in over 31 languages including English, Swedish, Spanish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Arabic, and many more. Users can upload audio or video files, select the spoken language, and press transcribe to get accurate text output in minutes.
Key features include a powerful online editor with playback synchronization and highlighted text that follows along with the audio/video, allowing users to review and correct transcriptions efficiently. The platform supports converting transcriptions to subtitles with customizable styling including color, font, and background options. ScriptMe offers multiple export formats including Avid Media Composer markers, Adobe Premiere, Davinci Resolve, Microsoft Word (.doc/.txt), SRT, VTT, and EBU STL for subtitling. Users can also export video with subtitles already burnt-in. Additional capabilities include speaker identification, timestamping, powerful search functions to find words or phrases across thousands of hours of transcripts, team collaboration on the same project, video export with burned-in subtitles, translation services, and GDPR-compliant secure data storage with on-premises options available for enterprises.
