Every guide to better transcription
Pick your use case: we show you how to get a clean transcript, with the right speakers, ready to use — in the language you want.
Guides by use case
Transcribe an interview without listening to it three times
Upload the recording and get a document with questions and answers attributed to each voice. Verlio automatically tells interviewer and interviewee apart, fixes punctuation and the slips of spoken language, and hands you a text ready to quote in an article, a thesis or a report — no replaying the audio.
Meeting transcription: the minutes write themselves
Record the call or the in-person meeting and let Verlio handle the rest: you get the full transcript with the names of everyone who spoke and, if you want, a Structured Document with decisions made, open issues and action items. Anyone who missed the meeting catches up in five minutes of reading.
Transcribe your lectures, study from complete notes
Record the lecture on your phone, upload it and get much more than a transcript: a document organized by topic, with a summary and a glossary of course terminology. In class you listen and understand, instead of typing frantically and hoping you don't miss the key point.
Transcribe your podcast and make it findable on Google
Every episode contains an article, a newsletter and ten posts that nobody will ever read as long as they're locked inside an audio file. With a transcript, host and guests labeled and AI-generated show notes, your podcast starts working in text form too.
Focus group transcription with every participant identified
The verbatim is the raw material of qualitative research, but producing it by hand devours entire days. Verlio transcribes the session attributing each contribution to moderator and participants, so you can move straight to what matters: the analysis and the quotes for the report.
Transcribe WhatsApp voice messages and read them whenever you want
The client who dictates instructions across seven consecutive voice notes, the colleague who explains everything out loud while you're in a meeting: some messages need to be read, not listened to. Export the audio from the chat, upload it and get clean text to file or forward. And every day you get 10 free minutes, so short voice messages often cost nothing.
Automatic subtitles ready to upload anywhere
You upload the video, the AI transcribes the speech and syncs it with the right timing, and you download an SRT or VTT file to feed YouTube, your video editor or your online course player. No hand-typed timecodes, no all-nighters spent on subtitles.
Convert video to text, without extracting the audio
Tutorials, call recordings, video courses, social media content: the speech in a video becomes a readable, searchable document with a single upload. No converters, no intermediate steps: the video file goes in as-is and clean text comes out.
Conference transcription: from the stage to the document in hours
A day of conference produces hours of talks that, without a transcript, evaporate when the event closes. Verlio attributes every talk to its speaker, merges sessions into a coherent document and turns the event into proceedings, recaps and content that keeps circulating.
Phone call transcription: every word in writing
The brief a client dictated over the phone, the sales call to log in the CRM, the phone interview to document: a recorded call becomes a text with the two voices separated, ready to re-read and quote. No replaying, no reconstructing from memory.
Transcribe your webinars. From a one-hour replay to a document you read in five minutes.
Upload the webinar recording — Zoom, Teams, Webex or a plain MP4 — and download a document with speakers identified, a summary, key points and a glossary. In any of the 35+ supported languages, translation included.
Transcribe your voice memos. From notes recorded on the go to clean, reusable text.
Ideas dictated in the car, reminders, article drafts, debriefs after a meeting: upload your voice memos from iPhone, Android or WhatsApp and Verlio turns them into tidy text. Often free, because every day you get 10 free minutes.
Convert your MP3s to text. Upload the file, download the document. Translated, if you like.
MP3 is the most widespread audio format in the world: recorders, podcasts, old archives, exports from any software. Verlio turns it into a tidy document, with speakers identified and export to Word, PDF, SRT and VTT.
Convert your M4A files to text. The iPhone memo format, transcribed without conversion.
M4A is the file that comes out of Voice Memos on iPhone and iPad and from many recording apps. Verlio transcribes it directly: no converting to MP3, no software, just the final document in Word or PDF.
Convert your WAV files to text. Uncompressed professional audio in, professional document out.
WAV is the format of professional recorders and studios: uncompressed, heavy, faithful. Verlio transcribes it making the most of all that quality: speakers identified, AI cleanup, export to Word, PDF, SRT and VTT.
Transcribe your MP4s. You upload the video, we extract the audio. Document or subtitles, your call.
Call recordings, video courses, social media content, event replays: upload the MP4 as-is and Verlio extracts the audio, transcribes it and delivers a Word/PDF document or SRT/VTT subtitles. In 35+ languages, translation included.
Transcribe your English audio. Accents, fast talkers and crosstalk handled. One upload, one document.
Interviews, client calls, conference talks, podcasts: upload the audio and download a clean, attributed transcript in Word or PDF. And if you need the document in another language, Verlio translates as it transcribes — across 35+ languages, in one pass.
Transcribe Spanish audio. English document, correct terminology, one single pass.
Interviews, meetings with Spanish or Latin American partners, videos and podcasts in Spanish: upload the audio and choose English as the document language. Verlio transcribes and translates together, across 35+ languages.
Transcribe German audio. English minutes, mile-long compounds included.
Meetings with the German parent company, calls with DACH clients, interviews and conference talks in German: upload the audio and choose English as the document language. Verlio transcribes and translates in one pass, across 35+ languages.
Transcribe French audio. From the liaison to an English document, no intermediate steps.
Calls with French clients, interviews, conference talks, videos and podcasts in French: upload the audio and choose English as the document language. Verlio transcribes and translates together, across 35+ languages, in either direction.
Verlio vs the alternatives
Looking for an Otter.ai alternative without yet another subscription?
Otter.ai is a fine meeting assistant, but it is a subscription built around live calls: monthly minutes reset whether you used them or not, file imports are capped, and your data is processed on US infrastructure. Verlio was born in Europe: it transcribes audio in any language, delivers a polished document in one of 35+ output languages and charges per credit — no subscription at all.
TurboScribe alternative: pay only for what you transcribe
TurboScribe bets everything on one simple idea: unlimited transcription for a flat fee. It works — if you transcribe a lot and raw text is all you need. Verlio takes another road: credits with no subscription, EU-only processing and a final document that arrives already cleaned up, structured and in the language you choose. Here is the comparison, line by line.
Happy Scribe alternative: no subscription, no expiring minutes
Happy Scribe is a solid European platform with a dual track: automatic transcription on subscription and human transcription at professional rates. Verlio chooses simplicity: €5 credits that never expire, a document already cleaned up by AI and data kept in the EU only. Here is the honest comparison between the two approaches.
Rev alternative: credits instead of dollars per minute
Rev is one of the historic names of transcription in the United States: AI at $0.25 per minute and human transcribers at $1.99 per minute, with English at the center of everything. If you work in Europe or across languages, Verlio starts from different premises: €5 credits with no subscription, a polished document in 35+ languages and data that never leaves the EU.
Sonix alternative: without the $10-an-hour meter
Sonix is a serious platform, with one of the best in-browser editors on the market. But the pricing model weighs on you: $10 per hour of audio pay-as-you-go, or a Premium subscription at $22 a month plus $5 per hour. Verlio costs a fraction, works only in the EU and delivers a document that is already clean. Let's see where each one wins.
Amberscript alternative: same Europe, more flexibility
Amberscript is a serious competitor and — let's say it up front — as European as Verlio: Amsterdam headquarters, EU servers, ISO 27001 certification. The difference is the model: Amberscript sells prepaid hours, subscriptions and an expensive human transcription service; Verlio sells €5 credits that never expire and a document already polished by AI. A comparison between equals.
Notta alternative: with a free tier you can actually use
Notta is a meeting assistant born for the Japanese and Asian market, with good multilingual support and live features. The free plan, however, cuts every recording at 3 minutes, and the product remains a meeting-centric subscription. Verlio does something else: it turns any recording into a polished document in one of 35+ languages, paid with credits, with data kept in the EU.
