[0:00] Thanks everyone for joining. Three things on the list today. [0:06] First, the launch date. We are still on track for the twentieth. [0:14] Second, the pricing page needs one more review before it goes live. [0:22] And third, who is taking notes for the customer call on Friday?
Files you can upload
Common audio and video formats work, including MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, OGG, MP4, MOV, MKV and WebM. A file can be up to 2 GB and 4 hours long.
What it costs
File transcription is part of Basic and Pro and uses credits: 1 credit for each started minute of audio, about 60 for an hour. If a transcription fails, the credits are returned.
Meetings, lectures, interviews and podcasts
Turn a meeting recording into minutes you can search, a lecture into study notes, an interview into quotes you can check, or a podcast episode into show notes and subtitles. Each line keeps its timestamp, so you can find the moment in the recording.
Any spoken language
The language of the recording is detected automatically, and the transcript is written in that language. Clear speech and little background noise give the best results.
Frequently asked questions
Which plans can upload files?
Basic and Pro. Each plan includes monthly credits, and you can buy a credit pack when you need more.
Is my file kept?
The file is only used to make your transcript, and it is deleted automatically after 7 days. The transcript text stays in your account history.
How long does it take?
It depends on the length of the recording and your connection. A short file is usually ready in a minute or two; a long one takes longer.
Can I get subtitles from my file?
Yes. Download the transcript as TXT, or as SRT and VTT subtitle files with Basic and Pro.
How do I convert MP3 to text?
Sign in with Basic or Pro, choose your MP3 file on this page and wait for it to be transcribed. The text appears with timestamps, ready to copy or download.
Can I convert a video file to text?
Yes. Upload the video itself, for example an MP4 or MOV file. Only the sound is used, so you do not need to extract the audio first.
