So, um, how did you, how did you start the bakery?
Well, I I started in 2019 with, uh, one oven and my friend Marco Bell Lucci. The first year was really hard.
Edited Corrected, laid out, with headings and a summary. Nothing added.

So, how did you start the bakery?
Well, I started in 2019 with one oven and my friend Marco Bellucci. The first year was really hard.
The names you type in fix the spelling: “Marco Bell Lucci” becomes “Marco Bellucci”.
Dettalo and TurboScribe side by side
TurboScribe figures as of October 2026, from TurboScribe's pricing page and TurboScribe Unlimited explained.
| Dettalo | TurboScribe | |
|---|---|---|
| How you pay | $8.90 once per file, no subscription | Unlimited plan: $20 a month billed monthly, or $10 a month billed yearly ($120 a year) |
| Before you pay | First 2 minutes of your own file free | Free plan: 3 files a day, each up to 30 minutes |
| Longest file | 3 hours or 2 GB | 10 hours or 5 GB |
| Speaker labels | Up to 32 speakers, names you confirm | Speaker recognition available |
When TurboScribe is the better choice
- You transcribe every month. A subscription is cheaper if you transcribe many hours every month. Multiply $8.90 by the files you expect in a year and compare the total with $120 a year or $20 a month.
- Your recordings are longer than 3 hours. TurboScribe takes files up to 10 hours; with Dettalo you would split them into parts.
- Your files are short and few. TurboScribe's free plan covers 3 files a day of up to 30 minutes each.
When Dettalo is the better choice
- You have one recording, or a few a year. You pay for the file, not for a month you won't use, and there is nothing to cancel afterwards.
- Your file is longer than 30 minutes and you don't want a plan. TurboScribe's free plan stops at 30 minutes per file; Dettalo takes up to 3 hours for the same one price.
What a Dettalo order includes
Every order includes two transcripts. The verbatim one has every word, with a speaker and a timestamp per paragraph. The edited one has clear recognition errors corrected, fillers removed, headings, a short summary, key points and a list of every change. Each comes as Word, TXT and Markdown: 6 files, plus a ZIP of all of them. A 1-hour recording is usually ready in about 10 minutes.
Speech recognition is by ElevenLabs Scribe v2; the independent benchmark figures are on the accuracy page. Whichever service you choose, test it on your own recording: noise, crosstalk and strong accents make real recordings score worse than any benchmark.

Questions and answers
Is Dettalo cheaper than TurboScribe?
If you only have one or two files, yes: you pay $8.90 per file instead of $20 for a month of TurboScribe Unlimited, or $120 for a year (pricing, as of October 2026). If you transcribe many hours every month, TurboScribe's subscription is cheaper.
Can I try Dettalo before paying?
Yes: read the first 2 minutes free, from your own file, with speakers labeled and both versions. TurboScribe's free plan covers 3 files a day of up to 30 minutes each (as of October 2026), which suits short files.
Can Dettalo transcribe files longer than 3 hours?
No. The limit is 3 hours or 2 GB per file; longer recordings need to be split into parts. TurboScribe takes files up to 10 hours or 5 GB (as of October 2026), so for very long recordings it is the better fit.
Do both label speakers?
Yes. TurboScribe offers speaker recognition. Dettalo labels up to 32 speakers across the whole file in one pass, suggests names where the recording makes them clear, and lets you confirm them before you download.
Do I need an account for Dettalo?
No. You pay once and we email you a private link to your files. If you lose it, the My transcripts page sends it again.
What if I'm not happy with the result?
