Speech to Text Conversion: How It Works and Its Role in Automated Transcription

Speech recognition technology is the backbone of our transcription service. It uses machine learning algorithms to convert spoken language into written text. Our state-of-the-art large language model ensures high accuracy and quality, with a WER score of 4.5 being achievable.

Speech Recognition in Detail

Speech recognition technology uses machine learning algorithms to convert spoken language into written text. The program breaks down the audio into tiny pieces and processes them using a large language model that has been trained on vast amounts of text data from the internet. This allows the model to understand the patterns and structures of human language, including grammar, syntax, semantics, and context.

The speech recognition technology uses an encoder-decoder Transformer model to directly map audio features to text captions, without requiring any intermediate phonetic representations or other handcrafted features. This allows the model to capture more complex linguistic patterns and contextual information, resulting in higher accuracy and better overall performance.

Overall, our Speech to Text Conversion technology uses large language models to convert spoken language into written text, resulting in high-quality transcripts that are easy to read and analyze. By leveraging the latest advances in artificial intelligence and natural language processing, we can provide our users with a fast, accurate, and affordable transcription solution that meets their needs.

Data Security in Transcription: Protecting User Data with Encryption

All audio file uploads and transcript downloads are encrypted using HTTPS, ensuring that user data is protected throughout the transcription process. We also have strict access controls to prevent unauthorized access to your transcripts.

Transcription Pricing and Packages: Affordable Rates for High-Quality Transcriptions

We offer different packages to meet your specific needs, whether you need a one-time transcription or ongoing services.

TurboScribe Free

Turboscribe unlimited, $10 / month.

I rarely leave testimonials, but this app 100% deserved one in my books. TurboScribe has been such a game-changer for me. I used to pick and choose what to transcribe due to time it took to upload BUT mostly due to cost. I'm transcribing all sorts of business interactions—meetings, calls, videos, you name it.

Since switching to TurboScribe - I transcribe everything without thinking . Large numbers of small files or several HUGE files it handles it. It saved me money, enabled me to offer more services and a TON of time. My once a year review is done, but I feel Turboscribe deserves is hands down.

I formerly had students transcribe audios (8 hrs. work for 1 hr. audio). Your program is literally saving me thousands of hours . The accuracy is actually better than when I had human help doing it. Yours is an incredibly useful piece of software.

We're using to transcribe medical reports with rare terms. Very impressed by the speed and quality.

I used this for one of my university assessments today and it's absolutely killer . Hope your business grows because it's excellent . We even had three different accents in our group and your service straight up nailed it.

Yesterday I stumbled upon ingenious tool: https://turboscribe.ai

Subtitles for videos in over 130 languages in super quality. So all my future videos will have at least English subtitles. And also some older videos.

For example, my #ChatGPT course is getting an upgrade where I'm adding English subtitles to all videos.

I've been searching for what seems like centuries, for a piece of transcription software that delivers with accuracy! TurboScribe IS THAT SOFTWARE.

Not only does it transcribe with amazing accuracy , it also filters out a ton of the unnecessary noise associated with pauses in audio. On top of that, it performs to perfection with the built in ChatGPT prompts (this was another area I was previously struggling with).

I used to farm out transcripts to be completed manually since I was unable to find an AI solution that met my needs. Less than 1 month into my subscription and I've done away with farming out transcriptions completely; it's much more cost effective and efficient to do them in house with TurboScribe. Keep up the great work!

Easily the best AI transcription service I've used. Intuitive, quick, and super helpful features for anyone with a high volume workload.

Audio restoration takes an extra 2-3 minutes per hour of audio/video.

How do I label speakers in my transcript?

You can also transcribe audio or video files (in any language) directly to English by selecting "Transcribe to English" under "More Settings" when uploading files.

How much can I transcribe?

We don't have caps on overall usage and our systems are designed to enable you to transcribe at least 720 hours of audio or video per month.

Convert audio to text

Descript’s audio-to-text capabilities transcribe audio with up to 95% accuracy to create transcripts, captions, subtitles, and text files. The best part? You can edit your audio by editing the text—just like a doc—to remove filler words and make cuts with just a few keystrokes.

The Easiest Speech-to-Text Has Ever Been

Descript’s speech-to-text transcription tool uses advanced speech recognition technology to turn audio files into transcripts that can be edited in real-time, just like a Google Doc, to change the underlying audio. All you have to do is drag and drop your audio or video file, and Descript will immediately begin transcribing.

How to transcribe audio files to text

Experience the magic of Studio Sound on your audio clip. You just need an audio recording that’s no longer than 5 minutes and no more than 25mb.

Drag and drop an audio or video file into a new Descript project to upload it. A transcript will automatically generate and sync to your audio, including dialogue and even "wordless media" like sounds, and pauses. If there are multiple speakers in your audio, Descript will automatically identify and label them for you.

By default, your new transcript will be synced to your editing timeline. You can delete or rearrange the text to edit your audio, letting you do stuff like remove filler words in one click. If you want to fix any transcription errors, like a misspelled name, highlight the text and enter Correct mode by pressing 'C' to fix your transcript without affecting the audio.

Once your transcript is polished, head over to  Publish > Export  and choose an export option. You can export your transcript as plain text, rich text, markdown, HTML, Word doc, or even an SRT or VTT subtitle file. You can also publish it as a web link to share or embed your transcript alongside the audio with Descript's media player.

A text converter that is as easy as drag and drop

Descript makes it easy to transcribe audio files into text. Simply create a project, select the audio file you want to transcribe, and wait a few seconds for your accurate transcription. Descript also makes it easy to correct any inaccuracies, so you can quickly take your transcript from highly accurate to perfect.Whether you're a YouTuber, vlogger, podcaster, or simply wanting to transcribe an audio file, Descript’s advanced speech recognition technology ensures precise and accurate transcriptions every time, and our simple, intuitive user interface makes it easy to get started.Sign up for free today and see how easy it is to create searchable transcripts of your audio files.

Descript Audio Transcription is Better Than Ever

With our most recent updates, Descript’s transcription is better than ever.

Automatic transcription will save you a step when you’re importing media; rather than confirming that you want to transcribe, Descript just starts transcribing.

Other fixes & improvements:

• Our Correction Wizard streamlines transcript correction even more by automatically identifying transcription errors.
• You can now order our White Glove transcription service or initiate Speaker Detection from the file details section of the Track Inspector (in the rail to the right of your transcript).
• You can select Speaker Detection from the speaker dropdown menu in the script.  
• You can click and drag to make Learning Center videos bigger.

How does Descript’s speech-to-text tool work?

Descript uses state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and machine learning to take your audio files and give you a highly accurate transcription of that audio in minutes.

Can I use Descript to make captions?

Yes, you can use Descript to create captions for videos. Simply select the video file you want to add text to, transcribe the audio, and then use Descript’s Fancy Captions feature to add the text to your video in a few clicks.

Is Descript just a transcription tool?

Far from it.

10 Best Speech-to-Text Software in 2024

Manasi Nair

Managing Editor

July 26, 2024

For me, inspiration strikes when I least expect it. A brilliant idea pops up under the shower, in the cab, or during a leisurely walk. But capturing those fleeting thoughts has been a real challenge.

Juggling multiple tasks—from writing blog posts to designing graphics—also hinders productivity . Constant context switching saps energy and slows me down.

That’s how I discovered the usefulness of voice technology software. Imagine a world where your thoughts can be transformed into text instantly. Speech-to-text technology has made this a reality. With a speech-to-text app, you can capture your ideas on the fly. No more lost thoughts!

Modern speech recognition software boasts impressive accuracy rates, often exceeding 99.9% for clear audio.

After rigorous testing and research by the ClickUp team, I have compiled the 10 best speech-to-text tools to help you achieve efficiency in your content creation journey. 

But first, let’s discuss the features that you should look out for in good speech-to-text software.

What You Should Look for in Speech-to-Text Software

1. clickup—best for transcription and audio projects, 2. lovo—best for ultra-realistic text-to-speech, 3. readaloud—best for easy listening on the go, 4. speechify—best for all-in-one text-to-speech and dictation, 5. capti voice—best for education and dyslexia support, 6. voice dream reader—best for immersive reading with accessibility, voice dream reader limitations, 7. wordtalk—best for a simple and free reading experience, 8. wellsaid labs—best for hollywood-quality narrations, 9. naturalreader—your everyday text-to-speech companion, 10. tts reader—your no-frills text-to-speech tool, use clickup and go from speech to text in seconds.

Experimenting with different speech-to-text tools taught me a valuable lesson: finding the right fit is crucial. 

Here’s what you should prioritize when picking a speech-to-text tool:

• Accuracy: The best dictation software understands natural speech accents, even amid background noise. It would help if you didn’t have to spend hours cleaning up a messy transcript—the software should get it right the first time
• Ease of use: Don’t get bogged down by a clunky interface. The best speech-to-text software should be intuitive and user-friendly . You want to focus on capturing your ideas rather than wrestling with complex settings
• Compatibility: Look for a compatible system to ensure that the creative process runs smoothly and without interruption . Integration with your existing workflow is a must
• Price: Speech-to-text options range from free to premium. Consider your needs and budget. Free options are great for basic tasks, while feature-rich paid software is a better fit for complex projects
• Export options: Choose a tool that allows you to export your transcripts in various formats , such as .txt, .docx, or .pdf, for easy integration with your existing workflow
• Advanced editing tools: Powerful editing features such as speaker identification, timestamping, and noise reduction are valuable features for transcribing interviews, meetings, or lectures
• Security: If you’re dealing with sensitive information, ensure the speech-to-text software offers robust security features, including data encryption and access controls

By prioritizing these factors, you’ll be well on your way to finding the perfect speech-to-text transcription software—whether for Windows, iOS, or Android.

Top Text-to-Speech Software at a Glance

Below is a comparison table of the best text-to-speech software we have discussed.

What is Text-to-Speech Conversion?

Also referred to as “ read-aloud technology ,” text-to-speech conversion transforms written text into spoken words using computer-generated voices. It works by analyzing the text and converting it into phonetic sounds, which are then synthesized into speech. This makes it easy for the user to listen to the written content for better accessibility and convenience.

How does Text-to-Speech Software Work?

Speech-to-text software converts text into spoken words using artificial intelligence and advanced deep-learning technology. This involves Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze the text’s structure and context, followed by speech synthesis to generate realistic audio. 

The speech synthesis engine uses neural networks trained on extensive datasets to produce voices that sound natural, which you can use for various applications such as audiobooks, virtual assistants, and more.

But what if you want to create an entire video from your text? This is where an AI Text-to-Video Generator comes into play. These tools combine the generated text using visual elements to create engaging videos directly from the text. This process involves synchronizing the audio with animations, subtitles, or even lip-sync avatars providing a comprehensive multimedia experience.

Benefits of Text-to-Speech Solutions

Text-to-speech solutions provide multiple benefits to independent users as well as businesses and institutions. Below are some advantages of this technology.

• Text-to-speech technology improves accessibility for people with visual impairments reading difficulties or learning disabilities by converting written content into spoken words. This makes it easier for such individuals to access and comprehend information.
• TTS technology removes the need to hire voice actors and produce audio content, which reduces production costs. It also allows for quick updates and changes to content without the need to re-record which is both cost-efficient and scalable. 
• TTS software works well with teleprompter apps to improve presentations and video production. Providing an audible guide helps the speaker stay on track while reading from the teleprompter for a smooth speech delivery that feels natural. 
• TTS software helps maintain a consistent brand voice across audio content for businesses. This is especially beneficial if there’s heavy reliance on audio, such as in commercial ads, customer service and interactive voice response (IVR) systems. 
• Text-to-speech solutions save time and resources by automating the process of converting text to speech. For example, in education, it can help students access textbooks and learning materials more quickly, while in healthcare, it can be paired with the best transcription software to assist in automating report generation.

The 6 Best Text-To-Speech Software Options For 2024 (Free & Paid)

If you're online in any capacity, chances are good a big chunk of your time is spent reading through mountains of content. Whether you find yourself scanning through articles, tutorials, emails, or books on a regular basis, there's no denying how exhausting and time-consuming it can be to go through lengthy walls of text on your screen. Doing so extensively can lead to digital eye strain – a problem that has seen a spike since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Thankfully, there are many text-to-speech programs out there that can cut down your reading time and up your productivity. As the name implies, these software options take words and convert them into clear audio. Advancements in generative AI within recent years have upped the functionality and natural-sounding quality of many of these programs, allowing for a more versatile range of tasks. Whether you have accessibility needs, want something that will read through your work and catch typos, or simply need instructions read aloud to you while you're working, you have no shortage of excellent options to choose from. 

Let's take a look at some of the most recommended picks out there today — both free and paid — to determine which text-to-speech software will work best for you.

If you've looked into text-to-speech programs, chances are you've come across  Murf AI . Whether you're looking to convert text to audio or vice versa, Murf AI presents a dynamic range of tools to aid in an assortment of tasks while still being easy for users of various experience levels to get a handle on. 

Users can type or paste their text into Murf, pick a voice, and listen to the results. What sets Murf apart from similar services is its range of voices. Whereas many text-to-speech programs suffer from having stiff-sounding computer-generated audio, Murf provides its users over 120 different voices to choose from, with specific customization options to alter pronunciations, age, accents, personality, and more. You even have the ability to time out the audio to your liking, with the option to add in pauses for more natural sounding speech. Once you're satisfied with the audio, you can download it as an MP3 file.

This, combined with a robust yet easy-to-use interface and additional features such as collaborative editing, make Murf AI a top choice for many, from educators and businesspeople to advertisers and  content creators looking for AI tools . Murf allows users to generate up to 10 minutes of text-to-speech and two projects for free. From there, you can upgrade to either a Creator plan that starts at $23 a month or a more advanced Business plan that starts at $79 a month. 

Free: NaturalReader

For those seeking an easy way to perform text-to-speech tasks across different platforms, NaturalReader has a lot to offer. The best part is that, while there are paid options for NaturalReader, those seeking a free text-to-speech software can still get quite a bit out of the program. 

There are three ways to utilize NaturalReader. First, it can be used as a web app where you type or paste in your text and hear it read out loud from a variety of different voices. This option is also the best way to load documents into your library to be read to you. NaturalReader is also among the best free text-to-speech phone apps you'll find , which allows for additional options like an OCR camera scanner that will help read scanned documents to you. Finally, you can add NaturalReader as a handy Google Chrome extension that will read documents you come across while going about your online tasks. 

NaturalReader features a collection of over 100 natural-sounding voices under the Premium and Plus subscription plans. These voices can still be accessed for free users, but with a daily limit of 20 minutes for Premium and 5 minutes for Plus voices before reverting to a more generic dialect. While it may not be a bad idea to invest in these plans if you have extensive reading needs, those looking for a simple way of getting through lengthy walls of text may be surprised by the functionality of the free version. 

Paid: Speechify

Similar to NaturalReader, Speechify is a text-to-speech tool that you can get a lot out of across various platforms using its free version. However, Speechify's paid tiers are also pretty affordable, making it a good choice for those seeking a more dynamic program on a budget. 

This is another program that can be used online, through a mobile app, or as a web extension. Speechify delivers great speed when it comes to loading audio, often taking a second or less. While its free option performs decently enough, the paid plans from Speechify come with a wealth of unique text-to-speech features that make the program stand out from the crowd. Meanwhile, its varying speed options allow you to adjust how fast or slow your audio is played. 

The prices available for Speechify's paid plans aren't all that bad. While there are more advanced studio subscription plans that go for between $69 and $99 a month, most can get more than enough use out of the regular Premium plan at $29 a month. If you're going with the yearly option, however, you'll save quite a bit with a plan that goes for $139 annually (or $11.58 a month).

Free: TTSMaker

A text-to-speech program may not be something you need for extensive, daily use. Rather, you may simply need a text-to-speech program to save in your bookmarks for quick tasks. Easily one of the best to get the job done is TTSMaker , a free and accessible software that's as straightforward as it gets. 

While plenty of text-to-speech programs are capable of running in browsers for free, they often do this while aiming to advertise their more feature-filled paid plans. TTSMaker cuts right to chase, though, letting you easily insert your text and choose between hundreds of voice options in numerous languages to read for you right from the homepage. From there, you have the ability to download your audio as an MP3 file for either personal or commercial use, entirely for free. Most other services require you to pay or subscribe for such a function. 

Of course, there are a number of monthly payment options under TTSMaker, ranging from a $12.99 lite option to a $140 studio plan. However, given the versatile features offered by the free version, including unlimited MP3 downloads and a 20,000 character-per-week limit, it's more than suitable for the needs of most.

Paid: Descript

While many use text-to-speech tools simply to get through lengthy walls of words, they can also prove incredibly helpful to content creators. Whether for podcasts, YouTube videos, or social media reels, using text-to-speech software can remove the hassle of spending money on  different types of microphones and recording your own audio. Descript is a solid option for this purpose

Of course, you can generate audio in Descript like a typical text-to-speech software with a provided range of adjustable stock voices. But what sets Descript apart is the manner in which the platform lets you edit pre-recorded audio. You can load your video and audio files into the program, with the audio converting to a transcribed format similar to a Google Doc. From there, you can add or remove from the text, which will then edit the audio itself. On top of this, Descript can clean up audio to remove additional noise, trim out filler words such as "um" or "uh," and add captions.

You can get started with the software for free, which allows for an hour of transcribed content per month. There are also three monthly plans going for either $19, $35, or $50, which go down to $12, $24, and $40 respectively if you go with an annual plan.

Free: Read Aloud

Read Aloud is another program that can be an easy shortcut when cutting through online articles. It's far from the most versatile in terms of platforms, however, only existing as a browser extension as opposed to a separate website or app. With that said, it is available across a wide range of browsers, including Google Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. 

Due to this, it's well-integrated with many webpages. Along with being easy to use on typical news sites or blogs, it can also go through extensive digital textbooks and university materials, thanks to its ability to read through documents such as Google Docs and PDFs. Read Aloud gives you 40 different language options as well as the ability to alter the pitch and speed or highlight sections of text of whatever you're reading to better suit your needs. 

This is about as simple of a text-to-speech program as it gets, so don't expect any surprising editing or download functions. The program can also be a bit finicky, playing audio even when you close out of the tab. Certain features requiring keyboard shortcuts to bring up. However, once you get the hang of it, this makes for a handy  tool, particularly useful for students or those with accessibility needs.

How we chose these text-to-speech programs

There are lots of capable text-to-speech programs on the market. Other options like Synthesia, Listnr, and ElevenLabs also came up during the research process for this list and certainly have their fair share of supporters. The final picks came about as the result of various deciding factors.

I tried out many of these programs personally, giving NaturalReader, TTSMaker, and Read Aloud the most thorough run-throughs. I've even had past experience with some of these as well. I also explored the free trials for Murf AI, Descript, and Speechify. Ultimately, these options were chosen based on a mix of my experience, reviews from other industry-trusted platforms, and user ratings on different app stores and review sites.

We also wanted to account for the varying tasks that users typically use text-to-speech programs for. Whether you're a student going through homework, a content creator seeking a way to streamline the production process, or you just need something handy for reading recipes out loud, there will hopefully be something on this list that suits your specific needs and situation.
