Blogger / YouTuber Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Must have for Multiple Use-Cases" 5.0 October 7, 2021 I am elated to have found Amberscript because it's all about trading in a few dollars to save our precious time, that's otherwise spent in writing subtitles, and speech scripts manually. Pros Amberscript has become a game-changer in my video production workflow. I usually write my video subtitles and sometimes podcast scripts after listening to my own words. It's a time consuming process and quite monotonous. But after I started using Amberscript, all I have to do is drag and drop my audio file into Amberscript, and then the script text is generated magically. It neatly captures my words spoken in English. The beauty is that it has multiple accent options just for English. So, even if you are a non-native English-speaking person, Amberscript can help. It has a neat editor within which we can edit the text easily using keyboard shortcuts, too. There is also a way to select the portion of text and it shows where in audio file waveform it's located. Its transcribing process works with AI capabilities - and that means it "learns" our words and tries to reduce the errors eventually. Cons With all its greatness, it still is not perfect. I have to do a final review to see if it picked all my spoken words correctly. Thanks to the text editor, I can search, edit directly in the editor. That being said, its transcription engine is in fact powerful and picks correctly almost 97% of the time. The hours limit duration is also quite less in their plans, in my opinion. However, we can purchase additional hours on a case-to-case basis. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Writer editor Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Amberscript is a musthave for interviewers and editors" 5.0 October 7, 2022 Easy to setup and use. Good quality. Pros You have a spoken interview transcribed in no time. The Dutch (AI) text-to-speech function is the best I've seen. Good enough to save tons of time. Cons Can't think of anything now. Maybe integration with other software could be better. But uploading single files to Amberscript does the job for me. Certainly if I compare it to the time lost when I was transcribing everything myself. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Owner, Content Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Ambescript has made some great improvements" 3.0 June 20, 2023 Pros Amberscript is wonderful if you want to create blogs and other content from your videos. Cons Amberscript has a subtitle option. However, it is not very customizable. This is what I originally purchased Amberscript for. But I still use it.

RE Reviewer Journalist Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Amberscript - a real relieve for transcriptions " 4.0 July 26, 2021 Pros Works easy, is fast, I can always come back to old recordings on my account, an efficient help! Cons Sometimes I have interviews with non-British nor American partners who speak in English... On non-Germans who speak in German... And do not know it too well. What is worse, their pronounciation is not the "original" one. Then we sometimes come to a certain border because the software seems to be trained by natives of the respective languages. Would be good to teach it as well in "Conference English" or "Conference German". Guess that would also improve in the future.

RE Reviewer Researcher/Assistant Professor Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great program" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 June 28, 2021 Great program, very useful and helpful in transcribing interviews. Saves some time, yet less than I was hoping for. Pros It is very user friendly, great graphics, great that you can see the shortcuts at any moment. Helpful in analyzing long interviews. Cons Not all the words (especially jargon) are being understood and the program does not learn from mistakes it makes. That results in still tedious long work to adjust the automatically transcribed conversations. I was a little bit disappointed by the amount of work it still is to work out the interviews.

VR Verified Reviewer Professor Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "At first glance: very good" 4.0 December 9, 2021 Easy to use, easy to understand, easy to get the invoice. Pros I've just bought 60 minutes of audio-translation fro 15 €. My interview was ready in 10 minutes and the text was 90% in line with the actual speech. I can't think of a more precise service. Cons There's nothing wrong in the service. Of course I'd appreciate more accuracy in the translation.

It works perfect. Pros the ease of the audio player connected with the transcription is brilliant to use while sitting next to the editor. Also that you can formulate a starting timecode, which makes it sync with the original timeline in the editing software. Cons It's still quite some work to do the final editing, but allltogether it's a big plus.

RE Reviewer VJ Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Speed up you editing" 4.0 October 26, 2021 Pros 20 Minutes interviews with 20 questions and answers is hard to integrate i an edit. For me it's easier to read and mark answers instead of scrolling through the material. The Timecode is in the word document, so the orientiation is perfect. Cons The possibilities of formating the word documents could be better. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

RE Reviewer Assistant professor Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Good for interview transcriptions" 4.0 November 18, 2021 Generally good - sometimes it likes to drop out on me, but in general I feel satisfied. Pros It works generally very well - it has cut down a lot on my transcription time, and in general, the software is good and transcribes well. Cons Has problems with some English accents, which is annoying. I interview people all over Europe and normally it's fine, but northern English accents are a problem that I have to spend a lot of time fixing.
