Amberscript review
A paid transcription platform combining automatic output with human-reviewed transcription.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Amberscript is a transcription and subtitling platform for individuals and teams working with audio or video. Its audience includes researchers, educators, media teams, governments, healthcare organizations, and legal teams. The service combines automatic speech recognition with human-reviewed transcription, giving buyers a choice between automated workflows and added review. An online editor supports transcript editing, speaker distinction, and editable timestamps, while subtitle creation and translated subtitles extend its use beyond standard transcription.
Pricing is structured around monthly, annual, and pay-per-use options. Monthly plans start with Starter at €19 per month for 300 included minutes, followed by Pro at €29 for 600 minutes and Power at €49 for 1,500 minutes. Annual plans cost €190 for Starter with 3,600 minutes per year, €290 for Pro with 7,200 minutes, and €490 for Power with 18,000 minutes. A Pay per use option costs €10 per hour and provides one-time audio credits. Paid plans include 90+ languages, automatic speaker identification, and an online editor. The pricing model suits recurring workloads, while pay per use fits occasional projects.
Amberscript’s platform coverage is a practical fit for teams that need more than a browser editor. It offers web, iOS, and Android access, plus a speech-to-text API with custom models for business workflows. Exports include Word, JSON, TXT, CSV, SRT, VTT, and EBU-STL, supporting both transcript and subtitle workflows. Real-time transcription support adds another use case for live work. Choose Amberscript if human review, language coverage, speaker handling, or API access matters. Buyers seeking a time-unlimited free plan should look elsewhere, and lighter users may prefer the pay-per-use option over a recurring subscription.
