Transcribe a 5-hour workshop and hand out the notes the same day.
A 5-hour workshop is 300 minutes of audio and comes back as timestamped text in about 10 minutes; the recording is usually a few hundred megabytes as audio or 1 to 3 GB as video. Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire.
A full workshop, morning to wrap-up
What the room worked out over five hours, kept in writing.
Ten minutes for five hours
At about 2 minutes per audio hour, the whole 300 minutes is usually ready in about 10. Lunch breaks and quiet stretches while groups work on a flip chart cost very little time, and the page can close while it runs.
However it was recorded
Workshops get captured on a Zoom or Teams cloud recording, a camera at the back of the room, or a recorder on the facilitator's table. Upload the MP4, M4A or WAV, or paste a Google Drive or Vimeo link if that is where the file already lives. A file up to 5 GB goes in before you buy anything.
The exercises, not just the talking
Chapters follow the agenda: the introduction, each exercise and the debrief after it, any breakout reports, and the actions agreed at the end. The brief pulls out the decisions, the numbers and the dates people committed to, and the chat answers a question such as what the second group proposed.

Why workshop notes go missing
Five hours of good ideas, and a photo of a whiteboard.
✗ Notes taken in the room
Whoever was taking notes was also running an exercise, and half the debrief never made it onto paper.
- Gaps where the note-taker joined in
- A whiteboard photo with no context
- Breakout reports summarised in a line
- No record of who suggested what
- Rewatching five hours to check one point
- A tool that stops after the first hour
✓ The recording as text
The workshop goes in as one file and comes back as a document participants can actually use.
- About 10 minutes for 300 minutes
- Each exercise as a chapter
- Facilitator and groups named in the summary
- Actions, dates and numbers listed
- DOCX to share, SRT for the video
- Packs from $4 for 300 minutes

FAQ
A 5-hour workshop, the common questions.
How long does a 5-hour workshop take to transcribe?
About 10 minutes, since processing runs at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. You can leave the page; the finished transcript appears in your Library and the link in your email stays valid.
What does a 300-minute workshop cost?
Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire. If this is your first recording, the opening minutes are a free preview, and the pack transcribes the rest from where the preview ended. Packs are one-time, with no subscription.
How big is a 5-hour workshop recording?
An audio file at a normal bitrate is roughly 60 MB an hour, so around 300 MB for the day. A video recording of the room or a cloud meeting is commonly 1 to 3 GB. Files up to 5 GB upload before a pack; with a pack on the account the limit is the same.
The workshop ran across two days. One file or two?
Either works. One file can hold up to 10 hours or 5 GB, so two 5-hour days could go in as a single 600-minute file; most facilitators keep one file per day so each day has its own chapters and brief. Two days of 300 minutes fit the $18 pack of 3,000 minutes.
Will it handle breakout rooms and people talking over each other?
Each recording is transcribed as one track, so a breakout room needs its own recording if you want it. Crosstalk in the main room is transcribed as well as the audio allows, and the speakers are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters.
Which formats come out, and where does the file go?
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON, all from one pass, plus 99 languages detected automatically. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
