We built the TranscribeMe app for Android and iPhone with our customers’ specific needs in mind. The app makes it easy to record and convert audio into perfectly transcribed text anywhere and allows you to complete the entire ordering process in-app as well.

While it stores your audio recordings that have been sent in to be transcribed, we’ve also made it possible to download your original recordings from the TranscribeMe app to make another backup on your computer.
