- Save as plain text, text with timestamps, or SRT and WebVTT subtitles, or copy it all in one click

Good to know
- The free trial transcribes the first 5 minutes of every file. Buying unlocks whole files, copy and export.
- Talkscript works on recordings you already have. It does not record from a microphone, label speakers or edit text inside the app.
- Best is the most accurate model. On most PCs it takes about as long as the recording or longer.
- Needs a 64-bit Intel or AMD processor with AVX2 (most Intel Core chips since 2013 and AMD Ryzen chips) and at least 8 GB of memory. Some Intel Celeron and Pentium processors are not supported.
