TURBOSCRIBE GUIDES & UPDATES

Getting Started with VoiceGo

January 30, 2026

Welcome to VoiceGo!

VoiceGo turns your audio and video files into text, powered by AI. It's extremely fast, accurate, and easy to use. It's also free up to 3 files per day (30 minutes per file). And, if you need to transcribe even more, you can upgrade to unlock unlimited transcriptions (up to 10 hours long each).

This tutorial will guide you through uploading and transcribing your first file using a free account. Let's get started!

Transcribing Your First File

Once you finish signing up, you'll land in the main dashboard:

VoiceGo dashboard controls

Click "Transcribe Files" in the dashboard, or "Transcribe Your First File" if your workspace is empty. This will open the upload dialog and you can now select a file you'd like to upload.

You can either drag and drop a file or click "Browse Files" to choose a file.

Audio Language

After uploading your file, you'll select the language of the audio. If your file contains English-language audio, you'll choose "English". And if your audio or video file is German, you'll choose "German". VoiceGo supports over 98 languages!

Transcription Mode

Next, you can choose a transcription mode. The default is Whale, which maximizes accuracy and takes just a few minutes to transcribe an hour of audio or video.

I recommend sticking with Whale for most files.

Speaker Recognition

If you're transcribing a conversation and would like to automatically differentiate between speakers in the transcript, you can enable Speaker Recognition:

VoiceGo speaker settings controls

Open "Speaker Recognition & More Settings" and enable "Recognize Speakers". Speaker labels are added automatically when speaker recognition is available on your server.

Start Transcription

When you're ready, click the blue "Transcribe" button.

This will start your transcription and your transcription will appear on your dashboard:

Open Transcript

Once your transcription is complete, click on it to open your transcript:

Click a timestamp to play the audio at that point in the transcript. This makes it easy to check the accuracy of your transcription.

Finally, in the actions panel (on the right on desktop, or below the transcript on mobile) there are a number of different tools to use with your transcript. You can:

  • Download your transcript in formats like TXT, DOCX (Microsoft Word), or SRT (subtitles). If you need to add timestamps or download in more formats, you can click "Advanced Export".
  • Enable and disable timestamps in the transcript view. This will hide or show the timestamps in the transcript document.
  • Translate your transcript to other languages. This will open the Translation Tool, which can automatically translate your transcript to over 134 languages.

That's it! You've now transcribed your first file and you can now continue uploading more files.

Happy transcribing! 😊
