The transcript is the source of truth
Correct a name once and the fix appears in the subtitles, the document and the JSON together.
No translation, deliberately
Adding a half-good translation layer would be worse than pointing you at a tool that does it seriously.
Long recordings without a plan upgrade
The free allowance is monthly minutes rather than a per-file ceiling, and multi-hour files queue in the background.
Speaker turns on Premium
Detection splits the voices for interviews and panels.
Try before signing up
A short clip runs with no account, so you can judge the output on your own audio.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free Subly alternative?
LongScribe's free plan includes 60 transcription minutes a month across up to 20 recordings, and a short clip runs with no account.
Can it label who said what?
Yes, on Premium. Speaker detection splits the recording into turns and the names you set carry into every download.
Does it handle long recordings?
Yes. Multi-hour files queue in the background rather than timing out.
Can I translate the subtitles?
No. LongScribe transcribes in the source language and exports SRT; translation is a separate job and other tools do it properly.
