Account signup and plan selection: Create a TurboScribe account (email or Google login), start on the Free plan, and optionally upgrade to Unlimited; this takes just a few minutes.
Initial configuration and first upload: From the dashboard, upload or drag‑and‑drop your first audio/video file, choose language and transcription mode (e.g., high‑accuracy “Whale”), and start transcription; most users reach a first completed transcript within minutes of signup.
TurboScribe can be tailored to different business workflows, but customization is mainly through configuration, team licensing, and integrations rather than deep bespoke development.
Team and org setup: TurboScribe for Teams lets you buy multiple Unlimited seats under one admin account, consolidate annual billing, add/remove users anytime, and manage access centrally for businesses, agencies, and institutions.
Workflow customization in the editor: You can rename speakers (e.g., “Sales Rep,” “Client”), use search-and-replace for jargon, and add custom vocabulary so the AI prioritizes domain‑specific terms for legal, medical, or technical content.
Output and invoice tailoring: TurboScribe supports multiple export formats (DOCX, PDF, TXT, SRT, VTT, JSON, CSV), so teams can plug transcripts into CMSs, caption pipelines, or archives; admins can also customize invoice fields with business name, address, and tax IDs for accounting needs.
Workflow automation and integrations: Guides describe using Zapier and similar tools to trigger actions when a transcription finishes (e.g., auto‑send to Google Docs, Notion, Slack, or email), and there are templates for meeting‑specific flows like Teams or Zoom recording transcription.
All core functionality is included in the Free and Unlimited plans, with no per‑minute charges, implementation fees, or mandatory onboarding costs; the only recurring cost is the flat subscription for TurboScribe Unlimited (10 USD/month billed annually or 20 USD month‑to‑month). Reviews and FAQs describe the pricing as “freemium” with a single paid tier and explicitly highlight the absence of hidden overage charges or add‑on maintenance, noting that support and product updates are bundled into the subscription rather than billed separately.
TurboScribe mainly offers lightweight, self‑serve training plus email‑based support rather than formal onboarding programs.
New users get an in‑app “Getting Started with TurboScribe” guide and blog tutorial that walks through creating a free account, uploading the first file, choosing language and settings, using speaker diarization, and exporting transcripts, so most people can be productive within minutes. There is a Help & Support hub with searchable FAQs on accounts, billing, and best‑practice settings, along with step‑by‑step articles and links to video tutorials and third‑party walkthroughs that demonstrate advanced features like editing, confidence highlights, and subtitle export. For direct assistance, users can email the founder ([email protected]) or [email protected], providing payment details if the issue is account‑related; responses are handled via email only, as there is no phone, chat, or live support channel advertised.
TurboScribe secures data with strong encryption, strict access controls, and a no‑training stance on customer content.
All uploaded media files and transcripts are encrypted in transit using HTTPS/SSL and at rest using industry‑standard algorithms such as AES‑256, and the service refuses any unencrypted connections over the public internet. Access to transcripts is restricted to the account holder by default; TurboScribe states that it does not give third parties access to audio/video for transcription, runs models on infrastructure it owns or controls, does not sell user data, and does not use customer content to train its AI models. Payment data is processed by Stripe, so credit‑card numbers are never stored on TurboScribe’s servers, and users can permanently delete individual files or their entire account, after which data cannot be recovered.
TurboScribe ships updates frequently in small increments, managed centrally and surfaced mainly through its blog and version trackers.
The product does not follow a fixed public release schedule, but version logs show major feature drops and improvements several times per year, such as the initial launch in August 2023, YouTube‑link transcription in October 2024, and the v2.1 release with Whisper v3 tests, new free‑tier limits, and UI refinements in 2025. New capabilities like TurboScribe GPT (for chatting with transcripts) and upgrades that move the free tier onto higher‑accuracy “Whale” mode are rolled out to all users automatically, announced via the TurboScribe blog and social posts, with no action required from customers beyond refreshing the web app.
TurboScribe’s policy is that you retain ownership of the content you upload, and you can export or delete it at any time, while TurboScribe only uses it to operate the service and comply with law.
The Terms of Service state that TurboScribe “claims no intellectual property rights over the material you provide,” so all uploaded audio, video, and transcripts remain yours. The Privacy Policy explains that your files and transcripts are stored on TurboScribe’s servers while your account is active, but you can delete any file at any time, or delete your entire account, after which the account becomes immediately inaccessible, and all data is fully purged from systems (allowing for up to 90 days for backup rotation).
For portability, TurboScribe allows you to download any media file or transcript individually and supports bulk export of up to 1,000 transcripts per folder, in formats like DOCX, TXT, PDF, SRT, and VTT, so you can move content to other tools or archives easily. The Security & Privacy FAQ also confirms that TurboScribe does not train AI models on your media files or transcripts and does not sell your data, further reinforcing that your content is treated as your private asset rather than shared training material.
TurboScribe uses simple, subscription‑style terms with automatic renewal and user‑controlled cancellation, and it does not offer refunds or prorating.
Subscriptions and renewal: TurboScribe Unlimited is sold as a recurring subscription (monthly or annual). The subscription auto‑renews at the end of each paid term until you cancel, and you are charged in advance for the upcoming period.
How to cancel: You can cancel at any time from inside the app by going to Account Settings → Manage Subscription → Cancel Plan, or via the Payment Portal link in the Help & Support page. If you subscribed through an app store (Apple/Google), cancellation must be done via the store’s subscription management, not directly in TurboScribe.
When cancellation takes effect: For web subscriptions, cancellation stops future renewals but your plan normally stays active until the end of the current paid term; you keep full Unlimited features until that date. Deleting your account can end access immediately and will typically cancel all subscriptions at the same time.
Refund policy: The Terms of Service state plainly that all purchases are non‑refundable, and there are no prorated refunds for unused time if you cancel mid‑cycle. If you bought via Apple or Google, any refund request must go through those platforms’ own refund processes, as TurboScribe does not handle app‑store refunds directly.
Plan changes and billing changes: Upgrading from Free to Unlimited charges your card immediately and starts a new billing cycle on the upgrade date; switching from monthly to annual is done in Account Settings and credits any unused portion of the current month toward the yearly plan.
TurboScribe presents itself as meeting mainstream SaaS security and privacy expectations and, according to third‑party security profiles and reviews, is aligned with several major compliance frameworks, though not all are documented directly in its own legal pages.
TurboScribe’s own Privacy Policy emphasizes data‑minimization, user rights over data, and handling government requests in a way that is consistent with GDPR principles, and external compliance summaries explicitly list TurboScribe as “GDPR compliant,” meaning it is expected to support rights of access, deletion, and data export and to act as a processor under customer control when handling EU personal data. Independent guides and reviews aimed at regulated users (law, healthcare, education) describe TurboScribe as suitable for GDPR‑sensitive work and note that it is marketed as HIPAA‑capable and appropriate for FERPA‑covered educational use when configured correctly and used with strong account security.
A security profile compiled by Nudge Security goes further, listing TurboScribe as compliant or aligned with several enterprise‑grade standards and frameworks, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI, HIPAA, GDPR, FedRAMP, and CSA STAR Level 1, though those specific certifications are not enumerated on TurboScribe’s public marketing pages. In practice, this means organizations should treat TurboScribe as a security‑focused, cloud‑native transcription processor with encryption, access controls, and privacy protections consistent with modern compliance expectations, but should still request up‑to‑date documentation (such as SOC 2 reports or BAAs for HIPAA) directly from the vendor before relying on it for highly regulated workloads.
