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.

The program is installed on the typist's computer and can be controlled 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, file management and more.

Express Scribe is completely free and can be used without any restrictions. We make it free with the hope you will like it so much you will recommend our commercial digital dictation suite to others. Please visit our Dictation Software page.
