Transcribe Anywhere

What Transcribe Anywhere does

Transcribe Anywhere (legally Transcribe Ltd, doing business as TranScribe) is an Irish-owned and operated transcription service provider founded in 2008 by CEO Sinéad Glennon and headquartered in Kinvara, County Galway. The company delivers human-powered audio-to-text transcription, dictation, and document formatting services to busy professionals — primarily solicitors and barristers, medical consultants, GPs, and academics — across Ireland. Its core offerings are organized around three vertical-specific service lines (Legal Dictation, Medical Transcription, Audio to Text for Professionals), supplemented by Document Formatting and an AI Transcription Proofreading service launched in May 2025 that combines third-party AI drafts with human correction.

The technology stack is modest but purpose-built. TranScribe operates a custom mobile dictation application (iOS and Android), launched in June 2023 and described as the first such app from an Irish transcription provider, featuring record/pause/resume controls, live pricing, and direct submission to a secure typing panel. A November 2024 integration with Keyhouse Case Management Systems enables one-click dictation submission and automatic chronological filing of returned transcripts within solicitors' existing case files. All audio and transcript data are stored on EU/EEA cloud infrastructure (SiteGround hosting), with audited GDPR compliance and a GDPR Audit badge displayed on the website. The company guarantees a minimum 95% transcription accuracy across services.

The business model is usage-based and consumption-driven. Customers purchase prepaid 100-minute bundles through the company website in three tiers: Regular Dictation (€220), App Dictation (€235), and Case Management Dictation (€240), with VAT applied to Irish orders and Stripe-backed checkout. A small team of 15 typists and support staff (as of 2023) handles production, working from a rural remote-work model. Go-to-market combines direct phone/email sales, the e-commerce website, the mobile app as a self-serve channel, the Keyhouse integration as a channel-partner touchpoint, and referral-driven growth among professionals. The company has no institutional funding, is wholly founder-owned, and operates exclusively within the Republic of Ireland market. Notable enterprise clients include Trinity College Dublin, Dublin City University, Munster Technological University, the Health Service Executive (HSE), the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, and multiple Irish law firms.

• Trint: Trint provides AI transcription with collaborative editing tools for journalists, researchers, and content teams. Comparable to TranScribe in the audio-to-text category and target professional user, but operates on a SaaS platform model rather than human transcription service.

Broad incumbents

• Otter.ai: Otter.ai is a leading AI-powered meeting transcription platform serving professionals and enterprises.
