Questions, answered.

The essentials before you start.

What can I try for free?
The free plan includes the first 5 minutes of each audio or video file and 10 dictations. You do not need a credit card to try it. Upgrade when you want to transcribe the rest of a longer recording or keep dictating.
How large can my recordings be?
With a paid plan, each audio or video file can be up to 5 GB and 10 hours long. On the free plan, you can preview the first 5 minutes before deciding whether to upgrade.
Should I review the transcript?
Yes. AI transcription can make mistakes, especially with overlapping speech, background noise, names, or technical terms. Check important details and quotations against the original recording before using or sharing them.
Can I download the text?
Yes. Export transcripts as Word documents (DOCX), PDFs, plain text (TXT), or subtitle files (SRT). Review the text and subtitle timing before sharing.
