Which one fits you better?

Honest, no marketing fluff. Where Scribie is the right call, we say so.

Choose CATT if:

  • You transcribe regularly and per-minute human pricing would cost more than a flat $9.99/mo
  • You need the transcript back in minutes rather than waiting on a human queue
  • You want the work that comes after the transcript: templates, action items, decisions, an email draft

Choose Scribie if:

  • The recording is genuinely hard — courtroom audio, heavy crosstalk, strong accents over noise
  • You need a stated verbatim accuracy target and a human name behind it
  • You need court-ready legal formatting for a deposition, which is a document standard, not a model output

Both are strong choices. Try CATT free for 10 minutes.
