Questions
Which file types work?
MP3, M4A, WAV and AIFF. For other formats, export or convert the file to MP3 first.
Is it free?
The free version transcribes the first 30 minutes of each recording and exports text. Pro is a one-time $29 for unlimited length, Word and PDF.
How accurate is it?
Clear recordings give good results. Noise, people talking over each other and strong accents cause more mistakes, so check important parts against the recording. You can click any line to hear it again.
Is the transcript certified?
No. It's an automated transcript for your own use. Where an official or certified transcript is required, such as for a court, use a certified transcriber.
Which languages?
English, with Spanish in beta.
