Frequently asked questions

  • Which audio formats can I transcribe?

    MP3, M4A and AAC (iPhone and Android voice memos), WAV, AIFF, OGG, Opus and FLAC – the usual outputs of phones, recorders and podcast software.

  • How accurate is the transcription?

    It uses Whisper, currently the most accurate open speech model, and returns clean text with punctuation. Accuracy depends on the recording: a clear voice close to the microphone transcribes almost perfectly; background noise, crosstalk and strong accents lower it.

  • How long can the recording be?

    Up to 10 minutes without an account. With a free account you get 30 free minutes and can upload files up to 4 GB; after that you pay per minute – 120 minutes for $5.90, 300 for $10.90, 600 for $19.90.

  • Does it separate speakers in an interview?

    Yes. For registered users the transcript labels the speakers, so an interview or a meeting reads as a dialogue rather than one block of text.

  • Is my recording stored?

    Uploaded files are deleted from our servers automatically after 30 days, and you can delete a transcript and its file at any time from your account.
