Questions people ask before the first upload.

A transcription service: drop a recording or paste a link and read the transcript in about two minutes, then a brief, chapters, the names and numbers that were said, the questions it answers, and a chat over the transcript. 99+ languages, transcribed on our own servers. 184,673 minutes across 5,264 recordings since April 2026 (measured 29 Sep 2026).

A brief with the thesis and takeaways, chapters with timestamps, the names, numbers and dates that were said, the questions the recording answers, and a chat over the transcript. Speaker labels and word timestamps when you ask for them.

Podcasters, creators, journalists, students, meeting-heavy teams, call centers, courts, researchers — the /use-cases pages list each field with the minutes transcribed so far.

Your first transcript is free at any length (leave an email to open it, no account). Your second is $0.99. After that, credit packs: $8 = 1,000 min · $12 = 2,000 min · $24 = 5,000 min; credits never expire and there is no seat fee. Workspace is $19 a month for unlimited transcription (700-hour fair-use mark).

They are generated after the transcript; very short recordings (under a few minutes) do not get one.
