What is Scribewave Enterprise?

As the founder of Scribewave, I often get asked what exactly sets the Enterprise plan apart from our regular transcription and translation options. After all, Scribewave already offers highly accurate speech-to-text for individuals and small teams. So why a separate plan?

The short answer: Scribewave Enterprise is designed for professionals who work with large volumes of audio and video on a daily basis. Think of researchers, journalists, editors, and production teams who need speed, accuracy, and privacy at scale.

Built for research, media, and production professionals

When I first built Scribewave, it was a tool to help me transcribe and analyze my own qualitative interviews during my PhD. But soon, universities, broadcasters, and production companies started reaching out with more advanced needs: longer recordings, stricter privacy requirements, and team collaboration.

That’s how Scribewave Enterprise came to life: as the professional version of Scribewave, tailored to the realities of large-scale transcription and translation work.

Today, it’s trusted by a variety of research and media companies, like KU Leuven, VUB, UGent, VRT, DPG Media, Ruigrok, imec, Woestijnvis, EMG, and many others across Europe.

The key advantages of Scribewave Enterprise

1. Handle longer and larger recordings

Upload files of up to 5 hours or 10 GB per file - ideal for interviews, podcasts, focus groups, or full-length documentaries. No need to cut or compress your content.

2. Access to our most accurate models

Enterprise users benefit from Scribewave’s most advanced transcription and translation models, delivering market-leading accuracy in 94 languages and local dialects. Perfect for multilingual projects or regional recordings where precision matters.

3. Collaborate in teams

Create shared workspaces, manage multiple users, and monitor usage through detailed team reporting. Whether you’re part of a research group, newsroom, or post-production studio, Enterprise helps everyone stay in sync.

4. Enterprise-grade privacy and compliance

Scribewave Enterprise includes enhanced data protection and an optional custom Data Processing Agreement (DPA) to meet strict institutional and legal requirements. Your audio and text are never used for training our models or commercial purposes. You own your data, and you're free to move it away from our platform at any time.

5. Priority support and feature access

Enterprise clients receive priority support, with faster response times and direct access to our technical team. Many of our newest features were shaped directly by Enterprise clients, like bulk project management to multi-user analytics.

Flexible and transparent pricing

Scribewave Enterprise is usage-based, giving you complete control over your costs:

  • €5 per audio hour (excl. VAT)
  • €15 per account

Billing can be monthly, quarterly, or yearly, depending on your workflow. We offer volume discounts for teams with higher transcription needs, and custom pricing for large-scale or specialized projects. You can even use now and pay later — perfect for research projects or productions billed after delivery.

Why professionals choose Scribewave

Whether you’re at a university like KU Leuven, UGent, or VUB, producing content at VRT, DPG Media, or Woestijnvis, or running research at Ruigrok or imec, Scribewave Enterprise gives you the power to transcribe, translate, and collaborate with unmatched accuracy and flexibility.

With support for 94 languages, competitive pricing, and privacy-first infrastructure, Scribewave has become the go-to transcription and translation solution for professionals across research, media, and creative industries.
