About Us

Our mission is to make audio content as convenient and as accessible as written content.

Our Story

We are a distributed team of software developers with an office in Milan and engineers all over Europe, and many of us have been working together for more than 5 years.

We have been developing audio and video software since 2008 and completed dozens of large and exciting projects in that time.

The Transcribe journey started in 2017, beginning as a small side project to play with rapidly improving technologies in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.

Having noticed a huge demand for the service in the App Store, we doubled down on product improvements over the following years.
