FAQ
Is there a size limit?
The free plan transcribes 10 minutes per file. Scribo Pro handles up to 2 hours per file.
Does the MP3 quality matter?
Clear speech matters more than bitrate. Music, crosstalk and heavy background noise lower accuracy; the Accurate model in Pro copes better with them.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The AI model downloads to your browser once, then all the work happens on your computer or phone. You can check: once the model is loaded, the tool keeps working with your internet turned off.
