How to cancel Turboscribe and reclaim your transcription budget
What is Turboscribe and why you might want to leave
Turboscribe is a cloud-based automatic transcription platform that converts audio and video files into text using artificial intelligence. The service supports multiple languages, offers a free daily quota for occasional users, and operates on a subscription model with auto-renewal terms. You may have signed up expecting accurate transcriptions, only to discover that output quality falls short of professional standards, pricing doesn't align with your actual usage, or you've found a lower-cost competitor. Whatever your reason, Yafee is here to guide you through the cancellation process with clarity and legal precision.
When cancellation makes sense
You should consider cancelling Turboscribe if you're paying for subscription tiers you don't use, if transcription accuracy doesn't meet your professional workflow standards, or if you've discovered an alternative service that costs less. Many users also cancel because they overestimated their transcription volume and realize the free tier actually serves their needs. The sooner you act, the sooner you stop authorizing recurring charges for a service that no longer delivers value. At Yafee, we believe your money should work for you, not drain your budget on dormant subscriptions.
Your subscription is costing you more than you realize
Turboscribe's pricing varies by plan tier and region, and your renewal charges may exceed your initial promotional offer. Without explicit cancellation before your renewal date, you authorize another charge to your payment method. Most users discover hidden subscription costs only when they review their credit card statement weeks after the renewal date passes. Recording your exact renewal date and setting a phone reminder are two of the most effective protective steps you can take immediately.

The free tier typically allows a daily quota of transcriptions, which suits casual or occasional users. If you're transcribing infrequently, Yafee recommends downgrading to the free plan instead of full cancellation if you think you may return to the service later.
Your consumer rights and what they mean for you
Your cancellation rights in Canada are grounded in federal and provincial consumer protection legislation.
Legal position under canadian consumer law
Under the Competition Act (federal) and provincial consumer protection statutes including Ontario's Consumer Protection Act and British Columbia's Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act, you have the right to cancel a subscription service. These laws require vendors to honour cancellation requests submitted in the manner the company specifies. Specifically, the vendor must process your cancellation before the next automatic charge occurs. If Turboscribe auto-renews your subscription after you submitted a valid cancellation request, you have grounds to dispute the charge with your payment processor and escalate to your provincial consumer protection authority.
Timeline for cancellation to take effect
Turboscribe must process your cancellation request before your next renewal date. Most vendors honour cancellations submitted 3 to 7 days before the renewal date; however, you should submit your request as soon as possible to avoid disputes. If your renewal date is within 48 hours, contact Turboscribe customer support directly via email or live chat to confirm your request was received and will be actioned before the charge processes. This creates a clear paper trail and reduces the risk of an unwanted charge.

Refund eligibility and how to request a refund
Your refund rights depend on when you cancelled relative to your billing cycle and the vendor's stated refund policy.
When you are eligible for a refund
If you cancelled within 14 days of your initial purchase or renewal charge, you may be eligible for a full refund under consumer protection legislation in your province. If Turboscribe charged you after you submitted a valid cancellation request, you have a strong claim for a refund of that unauthorized charge. If you cancelled mid-cycle and Turboscribe's policy does not offer pro-rata refunds, you can escalate the issue to your provincial consumer protection authority.
How to request a refund from Turboscribe
-
Gather your documentation
- Collect your cancellation confirmation email or reference number.
- Note the date you submitted your cancellation request.
- Record the charge date and amount on your credit card or bank statement.
-
Contact Turboscribe customer support
- Email Turboscribe's support team with the subject line: "Refund Request for Cancelled Subscription [Your Account Email]."
- Include your cancellation confirmation number and the date of the charge you wish to dispute.
- Explain clearly why you believe you are entitled to a refund.
-
Follow up if needed
- Allow 5 to 7 business days for a response from Turboscribe.
- If Turboscribe refuses or does not respond, contact your credit card issuer or bank to dispute the charge.
Dispute the charge with your payment processor
If Turboscribe does not refund you within 10 business days, you can dispute the charge directly with your credit card company or bank. This is called a chargeback or payment dispute. Your bank will review the evidence (your cancellation confirmation, the unauthorized charge date, and your correspondence with Turboscribe) and make a determination. In most cases, if you cancelled before the charge, your bank will reverse the charge in your favour.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward, but small missteps can delay the process or leave you exposed to unexpected charges.
Not confirming your cancellation in writing
Many users assume that closing the Turboscribe app or deleting it from their device equals cancellation. It does not. You must submit an explicit cancellation request through the account settings or contact customer support via email. Always save your cancellation confirmation email or screenshot for your records. Yafee recommends keeping all cancellation confirmations for at least 12 months in case a dispute arises later.
Cancelling too close to your renewal date
If you submit your cancellation request within 24 hours of your renewal date, the charge may process before Turboscribe's system registers your cancellation. Always cancel at least 3 days before your renewal date. If you miss this window, contact Turboscribe's support team immediately via live chat or email to confirm your request was received.
Forgetting to cancel across multiple platforms
If you subscribed to Turboscribe on both the web and via the App Store, you must cancel both subscriptions separately. Cancelling the web subscription does not automatically cancel your App Store subscription, and vice versa. Review all devices and app stores linked to your account and cancel each subscription independently.
Ignoring your cancellation confirmation email
Turboscribe sends a confirmation email when your cancellation is processed. Do not delete this email immediately. File it in a dedicated folder labelled "Subscription Cancellations" so you can reference it if a charge appears on your statement after the cancellation date.
What happens after you cancel Turboscribe
Understanding the post-cancellation timeline helps you verify that your cancellation was processed correctly and that no further charges occur.
Your access during your final billing cycle
After you cancel, you retain access to Turboscribe until the end of your current billing cycle. If your renewal date is June 15 and you cancel on June 1, you can use Turboscribe until June 15 at 11:59 PM. After that, your account will be downgraded to the free tier (if you do not have a paid plan) or access will be restricted, depending on Turboscribe's policy.
Verify no charge appears on your statement
Wait until 2 to 3 days after your original renewal date has passed. Check your credit card or bank statement online to confirm that no charge from Turboscribe appears. If a charge does appear after your cancellation date, it is an unauthorized renewal. Contact your bank immediately to dispute the charge and provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence.
Downgrade to the free tier if you want to retain access
If you changed your mind and want to use Turboscribe again, you can re-subscribe at any time. Alternatively, you can downgrade from a paid plan to Turboscribe's free tier to maintain basic access without paying. Return to Account Settings and select "Downgrade to Free" instead of cancellation if this applies to your situation.
Escalation options if Turboscribe refuses to cancel
Most cancellations process smoothly; however, if Turboscribe delays, refuses, or continues to charge you after cancellation, you have formal remedies.
Contact customer support in writing
-
Send a formal email to Turboscribe support
- Use the subject line: "Formal Cancellation Request and Complaint [Your Account Email]."
- State your request clearly: "I request cancellation of my Turboscribe subscription effective immediately."
- Include your account email, cancellation reference number (if you have one), and the date you submitted your previous cancellation request.
- Request a written confirmation of cancellation within 3 business days.
- Keep a copy of this email for your records.
File a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority
If Turboscribe does not respond or refuses to cancel, you can file a formal complaint with your provincial consumer protection agency. In Ontario, contact the Office of the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Bureau. In British Columbia, contact the Consumer Protection Office. In Quebec, contact the Office of the Protecteur du consommateur. These agencies investigate subscription disputes and can compel vendors to honour cancellation requests. Yafee helps thousands of consumers navigate this escalation process each year.
Dispute the charge with your payment processor
As noted above, your credit card issuer or bank has the authority to reverse unauthorized charges. If Turboscribe continues to bill you after you cancelled, file a chargeback with your financial institution. Provide your cancellation confirmation email and all correspondence with Turboscribe as supporting evidence.

If you need to escalate your cancellation request or dispute a charge, use the following contact information and methods.
Customer support channels
Turboscribe offers customer support through email and live chat on their website. For cancellation requests, email is the preferred method because it creates a documented record of your request. Use the subject line "Cancellation Request" and include your account email address and the date you want your subscription to end. Allow 5 to 7 business days for a response.
Cancellation address for formal notice
If email support does not respond or refuses to process your cancellation, you may send a formal cancellation notice by registered mail to Turboscribe's corporate office address listed on their website or in your account settings. Include your cancellation request, account email, renewal date, and the date of the letter. Send this via registered mail so you have proof of delivery. Turboscribe must process cancellations submitted by registered mail within 10 business days under consumer protection regulations.
