FAQs
Can I sign up for free?
Absolutely. We’ll even give you free credits to try out our transcription as well as our formatting and understanding features. No credit card required.
What’s the difference between Base and Enhanced model tiers?
Our Base models are built on our signature end-to-end deep learning speech model architecture and offer a solid combination of accuracy and cost-effectiveness. Our Enhanced models generally have even higher accuracy and handle uncommon words significantly better.
Do you offer volume discounts?
Our Growth plan offers 20% savings for pre-paying for credits. If you’re looking to transcribe over 10,000 hours of audio per year, you can save even more with a Premium plan. Contact us for more information.
Which file types can you transcribe?
We support over 40 audio and video formats, documented here.
