The arithmetic

5,000 ÷ 60 = 83 remainder 20.

The conversion

83 hours is 4,980 minutes; 5,000 minus 4,980 leaves 20. As a decimal, 83.333 hours; as non-stop audio, about three and a half days; as 8-hour working days, a little over ten.

What 5,000 minutes holds

A year of weekly 90-minute meetings (4,680 minutes); 100 podcast episodes of 50 minutes (5,000); forty 2-hour lectures (4,800); or eight full 10-hour recordings (4,800). Start the first one on the upload page.

The cheapest per hour

At 83.33 hours for the $24 pack, an audio hour costs about 29 cents, against about 36 cents on the $12 pack and 72 cents on the $6 one. If your total is anywhere past 2,000 minutes, this is the pack.

How long it takes

About 2 minutes per audio hour: 83 hours 20 minutes of audio is roughly 167 minutes of processing, or about 2 hours 47 minutes in total. A single 10-hour file is back in about 20 minutes.

00:40:02 The interesting thing about the ferry route is that it outlived the bridge that was meant to replace it.

00:41:16 Because the bridge was built for cars, and most of the ferry's passengers walked on.

00:42:30 So the timetable barely changed in forty years?

00:43:45 Two sailings were cut in winter. Otherwise you could still use an old printed one.

FAQ

5,000 minutes, answered.

How many hours is 5,000 minutes exactly?

83 hours and 20 minutes, or 83.333 hours. That is about three and a half days of continuous audio.

Can I upload all 83 hours at once?

Not as one file: each file can be up to 10 hours or 5 GB, so 83 hours is at least nine files. Upload them one after another; minutes come off the same pack, and each file is back in about 2 minutes per audio hour.

Is the $24 pack worth it over the $12 one?

Yes, once your total passes 2,000 minutes. Two $12 packs would give 4,000 minutes for the same $24, so the larger pack gives 1,000 more minutes for the money.

Do unused minutes expire?

No. Credits never expire and nothing renews, so a backlog can be worked through over months. A team that records every week can compare the $19 a month Workspace.

Some files are over 2 GB. Will they upload?

Once the pack is on the account, files up to 5 GB go through; before the first pack, the limit is 2 GB. The box on this page takes files up to 500 MB, and a larger one continues on the main upload page.

What comes back for each file?

A brief with the thesis and takeaways, chapters with timestamps, the names, numbers and dates said, and a chat over the transcript, in 99 languages detected automatically. Exports are TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and never used for training.
