Why people use Scriptivox instead

Speakers labeled in any recording

Riverside labels speakers from separate tracks, so a file with a single mixed track is not split by speaker. Scriptivox labels the speakers in the file you upload, on every plan.

Exports for documents and data

Riverside exports transcripts as TXT and SRT. Scriptivox exports transcripts as PDF, DOCX, TXT or CSV, and subtitles as SRT or VTT.

The meetings you already have

Riverside records calls you host in its own studio. Scriptivox sends an assistant into your Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls, from a link or your calendar.

When Riverside may suit you better

Riverside records up to 4K video and uncompressed audio in separate tracks, unaffected by the internet connection, then lets you edit by editing the transcript. Scriptivox is for transcripts and subtitles, not recording or editing video.
Its online transcription tool is free with no sign-up, and Pro includes unlimited transcriptions.
It translates transcripts and videos recorded on Riverside into 30+ languages. Scriptivox does not translate transcripts yet.
