Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?+

Yes. Free to start with no card: you get 3 transcripts a day, up to 30 minutes each. Sign up in 10 seconds with Google or email to save your transcript and run more than 3 a day when you need it.

Do I need to sign up?+

You can drop a file and start transcribing right away. Sign up in 10 seconds with Google or email to save your transcript in your account and run more than 3 transcription jobs per day. Free to start, no card.

Is my audio private?+

Audio and transcripts live in your account until you delete them. We wipe files from active systems within 7 days and from backups within 90 days. We do not train on your audio.

How accurate is the transcription?+

We hit around 99% on clear, single-speaker audio in English and major European languages. Accuracy is lower with heavy accents, background noise, or multiple speakers talking over each other. You can edit any error inline in seconds.

What audio formats work?+

MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG, OPUS, and AIFF are fully supported. Video formats like MP4, MOV, WEBM, and AVI also work if you have a recording in one of those.

How fast is it?+

Most one-hour files finish in 2 to 5 minutes. A 10-hour recording typically takes under 30 minutes. Files are processed in parallel so a queue of uploads does not stack up.

Can I export subtitles?+

Yes. SRT and VTT with word-level timestamps are one click away. DOCX with speaker labels, PDF, and plain TXT are also available.

Is audio to text transcription free a good fit for lecture recordings from a classroom mic?+

Single-speaker lectures with a decent room mic are one of the strongest matches for automated transcription. If the recording picks up rustling or hallway noise, expect a quick edit pass before publishing notes.

Does audio to text transcription free work the same in Edge or Firefox on Windows as on Mac?+

Yes. Any modern desktop browser can upload files or paste links. Performance is tied to your connection and file size, not the logo on the browser.

With audio to text transcription free, how strong can an accent be before I need heavy editing?+

Clear takes with regional accents usually stay in the same high-accuracy band we quote for clean English. Thick overlap, distant mics, or multiple people talking at once are what push you toward a longer edit.

Is audio to text transcription free limited by minutes per day or by number of jobs?+

You get 3 transcription jobs per UTC day on the Free plan. Each file can be up to 30 minutes long and 1 GB. A long interview and a short memo both count as one job if you run them as separate uploads. Pro removes the daily cap and raises per-file limits to 10 hours / 5 GB (up to 50 files at a time).

After audio to text transcription free, can I use DOCX or TXT for an accessibility-friendly transcript?+

Yes. Plain TXT is the lightest handoff, while DOCX keeps speaker labels and structure for reviewers who need headings and quotes. Pair either with your own accessibility review if the transcript goes public.
