How it works
The software is widely used by professional transcriptionists, medical typists, and legal secretaries who transcribe for hours every day. It integrates with word processors, supports docking of audio files, and can be used with a USB foot pedal for hands-free playback control.
Express Scribe is not a transcription service: it does not turn audio into text automatically. It is a playback tool that makes manual transcription faster and more comfortable. If you type transcripts for a living, it is one of the standard tools of the trade. A free version is available, with a Pro version adding more features.
