Transcription FAQs
How accurate is the speech-to-text?
Whisper-grade models hit 90–95% on clear audio; heavy accents, crosstalk, and background noise lower that. Review the editable transcript — timestamps make corrections fast.
What is the maximum audio length?
Long files are chunked automatically — hour-long meetings and lectures transcribe in segments that stitch into one timestamped document.
How are transcription credits used?
1 credit per minute of audio, counted after processing completes. Failed or empty uploads don't consume credits.
Can I transcribe a YouTube video from its URL?
Yes — paste the link to pull captions or transcribe the audio track directly, then export as text, SRT, or meeting minutes.
