What is Google Drive Integration?

The Google Drive integration allows you to import audio and video files directly from your Google Drive account for transcription. Instead of downloading files to your computer and re-uploading them, you can browse your Drive, select files, and start transcription with a single click. The connection uses secure OAuth authentication, meaning LiteScribe never sees your Google password.

  • Browse and select files directly from your Google Drive
  • Import audio files (MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, and more)
  • Import video files (MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, and more)
  • Secure OAuth 2.0 authentication - we never see your password
  • Works with personal and Google Workspace accounts

Connecting Google Drive to LiteScribe takes just a few clicks. Once connected, you can import files anytime without re-authenticating.

  • Click "Connect Google Drive" in the upload interface
  • Sign in to your Google account and grant LiteScribe access
  • Browse your Drive folders and select files to transcribe
  • LiteScribe imports the file and begins transcription automatically
  • Your transcript appears in your dashboard when complete
