Scribeomatic is "production beta", what does that mean?
Scribeomatic is currently solid and workable in many workflows, we're calling it beta because there is some features we want to add before we call it 1.0. In rare cases you may experience a crash of the application, however we make sure you are only charged your points after the application has saved the resulting transcribe. We also never change any of the original media on your storage, our transcribe results are stored as metadata sent back to the FCP X library via XML
So it it usable / useful in the real world yet?
Absolutely, they key workflows that can benefit you the most have been tested the most throughly. Right now you can have a searchable transcript inside FCP X within minutes using Scribeomatic
What cloud service providers are you using?
We talk to all the cloud service providers and select the best options to give you the best results based on the language, dialect and exact workflow.
