Transcribe a 10-hour conference day one room, one file, about 20 minutes.
A ten-hour conference day is 600 minutes of audio per room, and it comes back as text in about 20 minutes, because each audio hour takes roughly 2. The room's audio track usually weighs 300 to 600 MB, the day sits on the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes with 1,400 minutes to spare, and the first 20 minutes are free so you can check the opening keynote before you buy.
What one room's day turns into
From the welcome address to the closing panel, searchable before the attendees get home.
Registration to wrap-up in one go
A single file can hold up to 10 hours or 5 GB, so a room recorded from the 8:30 welcome to the last panel goes in whole. If the recorder kept running through the evening reception and the file passes ten hours, cut it at the lunch break and send two parts. On the public proof page a 9.31-hour file finished in 1,033 seconds.
Each slot on the programme, timestamped
Keynotes, breakouts, panels and the fireside chat each become a chapter with its start time. The events team gets cut points for the session videos, and the speakers are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters, so a recap writer can find the line they want without scrubbing.
How the room recording arrives
The AV crew's MP4 or the sound desk's audio goes through the upload page. A day that was streamed on YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch or Kick can be pasted as a link, and a shared Google Drive folder of room files works as one link. A replay longer than six hours starts once a pack is on the account.
Pricing the whole event
600 minutes is more than the 500 in the smallest pack, so one room-day belongs on the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes. A three-day, single-track event is 1,800 minutes and still fits that pack with 200 left. Two rooms over the same three days, 3,600 minutes, call for the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes.

FAQ
Ten-hour conference days, the practical questions.
How long does a 10-hour conference day take to transcribe?
About 20 minutes for one room, since each hour of audio takes roughly 2 minutes. Uploading the file usually takes longer than the processing, which is why a link or an audio-only export is the faster route.
What does one room-day cost, and what about the whole event?
One room-day is 600 minutes and goes on the $12 pack of 2,000, which keeps 1,400 minutes for later rooms. Three single-track days, 1,800 minutes, fit the same pack. Two parallel rooms for three days come to 3,600 minutes, which the $24 pack of 5,000 covers with 1,400 left.
The room video is 9 GB. Can I still send it?
Not as it is: a file can be at most 5 GB, and before your first pack the ceiling is 2 GB. Export the audio only; ten hours at 128 kbps is roughly 580 MB. If the session went out on YouTube or Vimeo, paste that link and skip the upload.
Our recorder ran for 11 hours, through the drinks. What now?
Ten hours is the most one file holds, so send it as two files. The lunch break is the natural cut: a morning file and an afternoon file each come back with their own chapters.
Some sessions were in Spanish and some in English. Is that a problem?
No. 99 languages are detected automatically. A recording that switches between them is detected on its main language, so if one breakout ran entirely in Spanish, a separate file for that session gives the cleanest text. Applause, walk-on music and room noise are left out; the speech is transcribed.
Which exports are there, and who sees unreleased talks?
You get TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON for every room. All of it is transcribed on our own servers and none of it is used for training, which matters when a talk has not been published yet.
