TranscribeX Pro is a one-time purchase through Gumroad. You get a license key, paste it into the app, and Pro unlocks right away. No account is needed. See free vs Pro for what it includes.

Buy Pro

  1. In TranscribeX, click Upgrade to Pro in the toolbar, or open Settings › TranscribeX Pro.
  2. Click Buy. The TranscribeX page on Gumroad opens in your browser. You can also buy from the pricing section.
  3. Complete the purchase. Your license key is in the Gumroad receipt email.

Pro is $39 once, with lifetime updates, for one Mac at a time. You have 7 days to ask for a refund.

Enter your license key

  1. Open Settings from the gear icon at the top right of the main window, then choose TranscribeX Pro (under About).
  2. Under Enter your Gumroad license key:, paste the key into the License Key field.
  3. Click Activate.

When it works, you’ll see “License Verified! Pro features unlocked.” and the Upgrade to Pro button disappears. Pro models now show up in the model menus and the Pro badges are gone.

Note: Activation needs an internet connection. TranscribeX checks your key again each time it starts. If you’re offline, Pro keeps working for 3 days after the last successful check.

Move Pro to a new Mac

Your license covers one Mac at a time.

  1. On the new Mac, install TranscribeX and enter the same license key in Settings › TranscribeX Pro.
  2. On the old Mac, remove the license: delete the key from the License Key field and click Activate. TranscribeX shows “Please enter a license key.” and goes back to the free version.

Your transcripts and settings stay on the old Mac. Moving the license doesn’t copy them.

If activation fails

If none of that helps, email support@transcribex.io with your purchase email. Pro owners get priority support.
