10 Best Transcription Software for Mac [Both Free & Paid]
1. Express Scribe
It supports both audio and video playback and plays formats including encrypted dictation files. You can also use professional USB foot pedals to control playback. This transcription software automatically receives and loads files by the internet (FTP), email or over a local computer network.
It also works with speech recognition software to automatically convert speech to text. Using the plug and play foot pedal, you can make your foot control the playback as you type, which can help you increase your typing speed. You can also load CD audio and start working as the audio loads.
Express Scribe Basic costs $29.99, and Professional version costs $34.99.
2. Inqscribe
There are options to save the document and to insert shortcuts and snippets. Using snippets, you can add frequently used words in a single click. With Inqscribe, you can create a subtitled QuickTime movie or even print the transcripts. You can add time codes to jump to a particular point in the film clip.
The single license costs $99, but students and staff can get a maximum of up to $60 off on discounts.
3. Dragon
You can also customize words for the terms you use every day, insert text or graphics that are often used and create command shortcuts for repetitive tasks. You can also transcribe voice memos from your smartphone or portable voice recorder, podcasts or audio files of any single speaker’s voice to text quickly.
It is capable of advanced customization features so that it adapts well to even the most industry-specific terminology that you use every day. It can transcribe all commonly used formats like .mp3 aif, .aiff , .wav, .mp4, .m4a, .m4v. For accurate transcription, it can also capture notes.
4. VoxSigma Speech to Text
Data available from call centers can be analyzed using these. First, the audio segments that contain the speech are identified followed by the language. Then, the text to speech conversion is done.
It has adaptive features that can distinguish voices even if some background music is playing and is capable of converting them into text. VoxSigma outputs an XML document with annotations including speech and non-speech segments, speaker labels, and words with time codes, high-quality confidence scores, and punctuation. This XML file can be converted into plain text.

Transcribe!
Transcribe recorded music.
Transcribe! Overview
Transcribe! is an assistant for working out a piece of music from a recording. Transcribe! offers many features aimed at making the transcription job smoother and easier, including the ability to slow down the music without changing its pitch, and to analyse chords and show you what notes are present.
Features: Transcribe! reads audio from many different types of audio file and audio CD. It displays the audio waveform and allows you to scroll around, place markers for sections, measures and beats, and easily play or loop from any point. It can also display video files synchronised with the slowed down music. You can add textual annotations. Loops and positions can be stored and recalled. There are many keyboard shortcuts and you can configure these as you like. Transcribe! can respond to various pedals so as to keep your hands free : start and stop playback with your feet! There is extensive and readable help accessible from within the program. The «spectrum» feature displays the strength of the various pitches in any chord or note you select, in the form of a graph — a wavy line over a piano keyboard graphic. The height of the various peaks in the graph indicate the strength of the note above which the peak appears. Transcribe! offers various audio processing effects (Slowdown, Pitch Change, EQ filtering etc) intended to help with transcribing. These effects all run in «real time» unless your machine is old and slow. This means there is no pre-processing or other waiting, the processing is performed on-the-fly while playing and you can instantly hear the effect of changes to EQ etc. For instance if you press the half-speed button while playing then playback simply continues, at half speed.

Download Transcribe! for Mac
Installation Instructions
- Select (below on this page) the appropriate version of Transcribe! for your Mac OS version. It will download the file transcribe.dmg to your Downloads folder.
- Double-click the dmg file. It will open a window showing the Transcribe! application with an arrow pointing to the Applications folder.
- Drag the Transcribe! application from the dmg file to the Applications folder. This creates a copy of the application.
Note: a very small number of people find that this creates a link (an «alias») rather than a copy. You can tell because the icon for an alias has a little arrow on it. If this happens to you then delete the alias and drag again, this time holding down the alt (option) key. This tells the Mac to make a copy. - Launch Transcribe! by double-clicking it in the Applications folder, or you can drag it from the Applications folder to the Dock which will create a link (not a copy) in the Dock.
- Once you have done this, you don’t need to keep the downloaded dmg file any more, though you can if you want to, for backup purposes.
Remember that dragging an application to the dock does not create a copy of it, it just creates a link. If you drag the application from the dmg to the dock and then trash the downloaded dmg file, then Transcribe! will disappear from the dock the next time the trash is emptied.
If you are updating from an earlier version of Transcribe! then you can delete the old version by dragging it from the Applications folder to the trash.
If you try to run Transcribe! from within the dmg then it will produce a warning message describing the problem. The best thing to do is to delete all copies of the dmg file and empty the trash. If the left column in Finder is showing «transcribe» then that is the dmg and you should eject it by clicking the little eject triangle alongside the name, before deleting it.
Mac OS 11.0 (Big Sur), for Intel and Apple Silicon (M1) machines.
For Transcribe! 9.10 we have separate builds for Intel and the new Apple Silicon (M1) processors, which means you have to choose the right version. In fact the Intel version will also run on Apple Silicon machines but obviously you get better performance with the Apple Silicon version.
To find out which version you need, select «About This Mac» on the Apple menu at the top left of the screen. The window that pops up has a line saying «Processor» or «Chip» and will say either «Intel» or «Apple M1».
Also for Transcribe! 9.10 we include GStreamer as part of the Transcribe! Mac download (if you don’t know what that means, don’t worry about it). This has the advantage of convenience and of avoiding confusion about which GStreamer version to use with which Transcribe! version. The only drawback is that the download is bigger, around 45 MB.
A very small number of people are finding that the Intel version won’t launch (I have a total of four reports so far!). If this happens to you then please see the FAQ query here.
Mac OS 10.10 (Yosemite), 10.11 (El Capitan), 10.12 (Sierra), 10.13 (High Sierra), 10.14 (Mojave), and 10.15 (Catalina).
With this version of Transcribe! you may also want to download GStreamer, mainly if you want to handle video. Note that if you have already installed GStreamer then you don’t need to install it again when you update Transcribe!

Четыре программы для транскрибации аудио
В этом посте я познакомлю вас с четырьмя программами, которые помогут упростить процесс транскрибации аудио в текст. Они не сделают всю работу за вас автоматически, но помогут ускорить её благодаря удобным инструментам.
Express Scribe (Windows, macOS)
Express Scribe — профессиональный аудиоплеер, созданный для помощи в транскрибации.

LossPlay (Windows)
LossPlay — программа от белорусского разработчика, но вся команда разработки русскоговорящие из разных стран.

Transcribe! 9.10
Review
Create a copy of a piece of music from a larger recording. Transcribe the notes and layout of the selected content, manage individual files or combine multiple tracks into a single presentation. Change pitch, tempo, volume, standard effects, chords, etc.
If you are looking to play a piece of music and there are no scores or tablatures available, Transcribe! is just the tool for the job. The application will not automatically provide the score but it is designed to act as an assistant in the transcription process. It includes a player especially created to suit the task with several other built-in utilities to enhance its usage.
Transcribe! has a well-designed layout centered around its player; the interface is easily customizable with multiple visual aids available: piano roll, note / chord guesses, spectrum, dB lines, time lines. Users can slow down the playback of the audio file or speed it up.
Audio effects and controls provide additional functions to Transcribe!; it may be used to isolate sound for different purposes like Karaoke, change equalizer settings (remove or select bass, tenor, alto, soprano, flute, piccolo, top), tuning, reference note, timbre. This way you can easily remove an instrument and play along.
Transcribe! is a tool designed for all users in need of a flexible, easy to use audio transcription solution.
