Questions people ask
Do I need to convert .flac to MP3 first?
No. Upload the .flac file exactly as it is — decoding happens server-side, and lossless or original-codec input transcribes better than a re-compressed MP3 anyway.
Is there a size or length limit for .flac files?
Files up to 10 hours each are accepted, and multi-gigabyte uploads resume if your connection blips.
How much does it cost?
The preview is instant with no signup. Credits are one-time purchases that never expire: $8 for 1,000 minutes, $12 for 2,000 minutes (about 36-48¢ per hour of audio).
Can I paste a link instead of uploading?
Yes — paste a direct link or a page URL and the audio is fetched server-side, which is faster than uploading from a slow connection.
