Typist vs TurboScribe

One engine, or three?

TurboScribe runs Whisper, period. Typist lets you pick: Turbo (Whisper-turbo on Groq, ~200× real-time), Pro (Whisper v3, stronger on accents), or Studio (ElevenLabs Scribe v2, best on hard audio).

How we differ

Three things Typist does that TurboScribe doesn't.

Three models, one subscription

Turbo (Whisper-turbo on Groq) for clean audio. Pro (Whisper v3) for accents. Studio (ElevenLabs Scribe v2) for messy, multi-speaker, or field recordings. Pick per file — TurboScribe only runs Whisper.

Studio isn’t Whisper

Studio runs ElevenLabs Scribe v2 — a different model architecture that's state-of-the-art on noisy rooms, crosstalk, and accented speech. TurboScribe hits Whisper's ceiling and stops.

Turbo runs on Groq

Clean audio? Turbo transcribes it in ~30 seconds per hour on Groq's LPU infrastructure. TurboScribe runs Whisper on standard cloud GPUs — a different speed class on the same model family.

  • You need speaker labels on interviews, panels, or podcasts.
