Transcribe a 100-minute recording About three minutes, a fifth of a pack.
A 100-minute recording is 1 hour 40 minutes of audio: it is transcribed in about 3 minutes 20 seconds and uses 100 of the 500 minutes in the $6 pack, leaving 400. That is $1.20 worth of the pack, five recordings this long fit in one, and the first 20 minutes are free so you read a fifth of it before paying.
The most common long length
What 100 minutes looks like here.
Why 100 minutes comes up so often
Among the uploads people pay for, 100 minutes is the length we see most. It is a class with a short break, a call that ran past its hour, an interview that kept going, or two back-to-back sessions saved as one file. Short-file tools tend to stop well before it.
The pack arithmetic
At $0.72 an audio hour on the $6 pack, 100 minutes is $1.20 of credit. Four more recordings of the same length use the remaining 400 minutes exactly, and credits never expire, so the fifth can wait a month or a year.
The sizes it arrives in
Size is bitrate times time: a 128 kbps MP3 or M4A of 100 minutes is about 96 MB, a 16-bit stereo WAV at 44.1 kHz about 1.06 GB, and a 1080p video at 5 Mbps about 3.75 GB. The box above takes 500 MB; bigger files go through the upload page.
What you read first
The brief states the thesis and takeaways, chapters break the 100 minutes into timestamped parts, and the names, numbers and dates said are pulled into one list. People are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters, and a chat answers questions about the recording.
The length in the middle
Too long for quick tools, too short to plan for.

FAQ
100-minute recordings, answered.
How long does a 100-minute recording take to transcribe?
About 3 minutes 20 seconds of processing, at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. On a home connection a 96 MB audio file uploads in a minute or two, so the whole trip from file to text is usually under ten minutes.
What does 100 minutes cost, and which pack fits?
The $6 pack (500 minutes) fits. One 100-minute recording uses 100 minutes of it, which is $1.20 of credit, and leaves 400 minutes, enough for four more of the same length. The first 20 minutes are free for a first-time visitor, and there is no subscription.
Is a 100-minute file too big to upload?
Almost never. Audio files of this length run from about 48 MB at 64 kbps to about 1.06 GB as CD-quality WAV, all inside the 2 GB allowed before the first pack. A high-bitrate 100-minute video can pass 2 GB; that file starts once a pack is on the account, and the limit per file is 5 GB.
Should I split a 100-minute recording?
No. One file can run up to 10 hours, so 100 minutes goes in whole and keeps one set of timestamps. Splitting only makes sense when you have several recordings that belong apart, and then each is its own upload.
Which languages work for a 100-minute recording?
Any of 99, detected automatically, including Tagalog, Korean, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Hebrew, Afrikaans and Zulu. A recording that switches language is detected on its main one, and English mixed with Tagalog is handled. Background music and noise are left out; the speech is transcribed.
What can I export, and is the file kept private?
A 100-minute transcript downloads as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON. A 100-minute file is transcribed on our own servers and is never used for training.
