Express Scribe Transcription Playback Software

Digital Transcription Audio Player Software

Express Scribe is free professional audio player software for PC, Mac or Linux designed to assist the transcription of audio recordings.

A typist can install it on their computer and control audio playback using a transcription foot pedal or keyboard (with 'hot' keys). This computer transcriber application also offers valuable features for typists including variable speed playback, multi-channel control, playing video, file management, and more.

Express Scribe is completely free and can be used without any restrictions. We make it free because we know you will love it so much you will use and recommend our commercial digital dictation suite to others. Please visit our Dictation Software page.
