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 JW Jos W. Writer editor Writing and Editing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amberscript is a musthave for interviewers and editors" October 6, 2022 5.0 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 Elysia V. Owner, Content Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ambescript has made some great improvements" June 17, 2023 3.0 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. Review Source HS Hermann S. Journalist Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amberscript - a real relieve for transcriptions " July 24, 2021 4.0 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. Review Source SA Sanja A. Researcher/Assistant Professor Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great program" June 25, 2021 4.0 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. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Professor E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "At first glance: very good" December 7, 2021 4.0 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. Review Source MM Michael M. VJ Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Speed up you editing" October 20, 2021 4.0 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 AK Arno K. Student Education Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Free trial" October 5, 2022 5.0 very useful for school task Pros the combination of the video, the self reading tekst and the transcript Cons the price you have to pay, it is too expensive for a student Review Source AW Abby W. Assistant professor Research Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good for interview transcriptions" November 16, 2021 4.0 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. Review Source Fray Agustin G. Presidente Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Transcripción de audios" January 16, 2025 3.0 Adquirí una suscripción para realizar transcripciones por lotes, aunque hace su trabajo, no es la mejor. Pros Plataforma para transcripción automática de archivos de audio y video. Permite hacer modificaciones a las transcripciones. Cons El costo es una principal limitante, además de que en idioma español comete errores constantes en ciertas palabras que hacen referencia a instituciones o lugares geográficos. Switched from [Transkriptor](https://www.capterra.com/p/251933/Transkriptor/) Costos y beneficios, depende del idioma en que deseo transcribir. Review Source DB Diego B.

September 11, 2022 5.0 Muy importante para ejercicios de investigación cualitativa Pros Es una plataforma muy versátil con trascripciones muy fieles Cons Sugiero ajustar "loops" para realizar seguimiento al audio sin necesidad de parar.

Pros El software es muy simple de usar e intuitivo. Cualquiera podría utilizarlo sin tener muchos conocimientos de informática. Cons En mi caso, el software tiene algunas fallas y no salva mi progreso en el trabajo o simplemente se recarga solo. Review Source Davide Isidoro P. Phd student Research Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "buono ma..." March 27, 2023 4.0 Pros permette di ottenere la trascrizione di un video senza dover prendere appunti Cons nella prova gratuita le funzionalità sono limitate e per aver una trascrizione senza errori bisogna pagare Review Source SM Sarah M. Graduate Assistant Judiciary Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "AI transcribe was unable to distinguish male and female voices" February 1, 2024 1.0 I would not use it again for the purpose of transcribing a casual conversation or interview. Pros It is easy to use. The file upload process is fast. The interface is user friendly. Allows Paypal checkout. Cons While the voices are clear, I anticipated some errors due to the music in the background (no lyrics) and one speaker's accent. I paid for the AI version thinking I could save time by using the time stamps and basic outline of the transcription to make my work faster. Unfortunately, this service could not differentiate well between the male and female speakers without long breaks between sentences. It also showed very very low accuracy for the non-native english speaker, and only moderate to low accuracy for the native speaker. Review Source NM Nélia M. military oficial Military Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Amberscript is very useful" October 1, 2022 5.0 I am transcribing some interviews, collecting data from my master's degree and amberscript is being very useful to me.. I think amberscript is very user friendly. I chose the cheapest plan because the real-dollar exchange rate is 5.00. I wish that when adjusting the text I could use bold and other word features. Thank you very much" Pros I liked it a lot because it helped me with the manual work of the researcher. Cons Maybe you can use word features in the transcribed text. Review Source AL Andrea L. Translator and Transcriber Translation and Localization Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing software" October 7, 2022 5.0 Pros Works perfectly, identifies mostly flawlessly many accents and different intonations. Cons No copy paste. Having to work with internet. Review Source ML Marie L. Student Design Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Review" July 30, 2021 4.0 It was really fast. the transcription was correct. I have a good experience. Pros I love that it divides automatically in different speakers. That German is available. (it is not available in a lot of transcription software) I also like that I can choose to let it transcibe from a person. I looove. That I can let the audio play while editing. Cons I didn't use it so much. But I would like to have some options for comments Switched from [Trint](https://www.capterra.com/p/179896/Trint/) I didnt like the subscription model Review Source MF Markus F. CEO Media Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great tool for very fast transcriptions" October 13, 2021 5.0 I was really surprised how exactly, accurate and even under bad surround sound circumstances the software recognized the voices to deliver a good basic text to save much time. Pros The easy to use functions with a good pricing system, to do automatic transcriptions. Cons There is nearly nothing yet. Only a "copy & paste" function would be great. Review Source NI Nithushaa I. Student Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best solution to save work and time!" September 14, 2022 5.0 Pros The automatic transcription with less time Cons It is too expensive for students. I would prefer some student offer packages. Review Source CD Caterina D.
