Why does ScribeChrono request these permissions?

  • Automatic insertion

    To insert your text transcripts and AI summaries right where your cursor is — in one click.

  • Real-time analysis

    To let you start audio or video transcription jobs directly from the side panel of your Google Doc.

  • Absolute privacy

    Your documents stay private. ScribeChrono only accesses the document where you opened the extension, and no data is stored beyond what's strictly needed to process your transcription.

ScribeChrono only requests the Google Docs permissions required to insert transcription results into documents selected by the user.

Frequently asked questions

Everything about audio-to-text conversion, privacy, and ScribeChrono pricing.

Is ScribeChrono really free?

Yes — you can start without paying. Uploading audio or video on the home page is free and does not require a credit card.

To run transcription and access your files in your personal workspace, create a free account. Free monthly minutes let you test the service in real conditions.

For high volume — daily meetings, long podcasts, archives — Pro or Business plans extend capacity. See the Pricing page to compare options.

Do I need an account to convert audio to text?

Not for the first step: you can upload your file immediately, without signing up.

Transcription and history require a free account. Sign up with Google, Microsoft, or email — whichever you prefer.

Once signed in, your file is linked to your workspace: all transcripts, folders, and exports live in your dashboard.

Which audio and video formats are supported?

ScribeChrono accepts the most common formats: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC, WMA, MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV, and more.

For video, audio is extracted automatically — no need to convert the file yourself.

If you are unsure about a rare format, try uploading from the home page: a clear message will tell you if the file is not supported.

What is the maximum file size?

Limits depend on your plan and recording length. Free accounts cover everyday use; paid plans increase monthly volume.

Very long files are processed in chunks automatically. Track progress in your workspace until transcription completes.

For exceptionally large archives, see Pro or Business pricing, or contact us for a custom need.

How reliable is transcription, especially in English?

ScribeChrono produces readable, punctuated text split into timestamped segments. Quality is excellent on clear speech, professional meetings, and most podcasts.

English is among the strongest languages, alongside French, Spanish, and 100+ others. Language is detected automatically; you can adjust it in the editor if needed.

Like any automatic transcription, human review is recommended for legal, medical, or highly technical use. The built-in editor makes quick corrections easy.

Is my data secure?

Yes. All traffic to the site is encrypted. Your files and transcripts belong to your account and are not visible to other users.

You stay in control: delete recordings and transcripts from your dashboard anytime.

We do not sell your content or use it to train public models. See our privacy policy for legal details.

Can I transcribe from Google Docs, Word, or Chrome?

Yes. Dedicated extensions let you access your account, send a file, and insert the transcript directly in Google Docs or Microsoft Word.

The Chrome extension opens a side panel connected to your dashboard — work without leaving your current tab.

The website remains the hub for advanced editing — summary, translation, sharing, and multi-format export.

How long does transcription take?

In most cases, expect a few minutes for an hour of audio. Short files are often ready in under a minute.

Exact time depends on media length, recording quality, and service load when you submit.

You do not need to stay on the page: transcription continues in the background and appears in your dashboard when done.
