New pricing

Good news! As from today, SpeedScriber minutes are now half the original price at US$0.25/minute. If you purchase from our reseller Paddle at app.speedscriber.com/buy-minutes then further discounts are available for purchases of 5 hours or more.

We didn’t want anyone feeling frustrated with the new pricing if they had only recently purchased minutes. So as a gesture of goodwill, anyone who purchased at the original price after 1st October 2025 has received a matching amount of free bonus minutes.

SpeedScriber 2.5.3 released

We’re pleased to announce that SpeedScriber 2.5.3 is now available. This update features the following changes:

  • Improved reliability of transcript editing.
  • Improved handling of ellipsis and hyphen characters when editing German language transcripts.
  • Files imported by dragging a library from Final Cut Pro can no longer be renamed since this breaks the roundtrip process that relies on clip names remaining the same.
  • When purchasing minutes on app.speedscriber.com website after clicking the Buy Minutes button in the SpeedScriber app, a warning is shown if there is a mismatch between the accounts currently in use on the app and website. This avoids unexpected assignment of purchased minutes for users who use multiple SpeedScriber accounts on the same Mac.
  • Changed method used for faster than normal speed playback to workaround a macOS 13 bug that causes incorrect spatialization of audio from multichannel source files.
  • Various minor bug fixes.
