Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost?

1 credit per minute of audio. New accounts get 30 free minutes, and credit packs start at $1. There is no subscription and credits never expire.

Which file formats are supported?

Almost any audio or video file: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, OPUS, FLAC, WEBM, MP4, MOV, MKV and more, up to 500 MB and 5 hours.

Can it tell speakers apart?

Yes. Turn on speaker detection and the transcript is split by speaker, with labels and timestamps.

What happens to my files?

Your upload is deleted from processing storage as soon as the transcript is ready. The transcript stays in your account until you delete it.

What if the recording mixes languages?

Mixed-language speech is detected automatically, so a conversation that switches between languages is transcribed correctly.
