Free preview of the opening minutes · a pack from $4 opens the full transcript · no signup to start

Free transcription no signup to start.

Most 'free' transcription lets you run the job and then asks for an email before it shows you anything. Here no signup is needed to start: the opening minutes are a free preview, and a pack from $4 (300 minutes) transcribes the rest, at any length up to 10 hours.

What you get

Free that doesn't mean 'free until it matters'.

See it before you sign up

The common pattern is to process the file, show a blurred preview, and ask for an email before you see a word. Here the preview renders as soon as the job finishes, with no signup, so you know the transcript is right before you give us anything.

Full quality, not a demo tier

Every transcript is the same transcription, with word-level timestamps, whichever pack opened it. There is no lower-accuracy version or watermarked output.

at any length, in full

Every recording starts with a free preview of its opening minutes, and a pack from $4 (300 minutes) transcribes the rest — long enough for a full interview, lecture, or podcast episode — with downloads.

A pack from $4 opens it in full

Signing up is free and the opening minutes are a free preview; a pack from $4 (300 minutes) transcribes the rest, with download and copy, plus a library that persists and history you can come back to.

00:00:06 I assumed there'd be a catch somewhere around the four-minute mark, honestly.

00:00:12 That's usually where the text stops and a card form appears.

00:00:18 Right, and by then you've already spent the time uploading.

00:00:25 This one runs all the way through. The opening minutes are a free preview; a pack from $4 transcribes the rest.

FAQ

Free preview questions, answered.

Do I really not need an account?

Not to start. A job runs and its summary is readable as soon as it finishes, with no email and no card. To open the full transcript, with downloads, you need a pack from $4 (300 minutes).

What's the catch?

No transcript is free: the opening minutes are a free preview; a pack from $4 (300 minutes) transcribes the rest. Credit packs start at $4 for 300 minutes and never expire.

Is the free output worse than paid?

No. Same accuracy and the same word-level timestamps on every transcript, and no watermark. Packs add minutes — they don't unlock better accuracy.

How long can the free recording be?

Up to 10 hours or 5 GB per file. The opening minutes are a free preview whatever the file length, and a pack from $4 (300 minutes) transcribes the rest. The box on this page takes files up to 500 MB; larger files continue on the upload page.

What happens to my audio?

It's never used to train any model. Audio is processed in our private cloud rather than handed to a third-party AI API, and previews you run without an account aren't kept as a personal history.

What does a pack open?

Credit packs: $4 for 300 minutes, $18 for 3,000, $32 for 6,000 minutes. They're one-time purchases, not subscriptions, and the credits never expire. Every recording starts with a free preview of its opening minutes; a pack from $4 (300 minutes) transcribes the rest and opens every export; every transcript draws from a pack.

No signup to preview. Free preview of the opening minutes; packs from $4.
