90 minutes · about 3 min · the first 20 free

Transcribe a 90-minute interview and quote it with confidence.

A 90-minute interview comes back as text in about 3 minutes, and the first 20 minutes are free, so you read how it starts before paying. A $6 pack of 500 minutes transcribes the remaining 70 and leaves at least 410 minutes for the next interviews.

What a 90-minute interview becomes

One long conversation, ready to quote, cite and file.

Phone, recorder or call

Interviews are recorded on a phone on the table, a handheld recorder, or a Zoom or Meet call. All of those files upload as they are. A 90-minute phone recording is usually under 100 MB, well inside every limit.

Quotes you can cite

The interviewer and the guest are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters. Each quote carries its timestamp, so you can play the line back and confirm the exact wording before it goes in print or in a thesis.

Topics as chapters

A long interview drifts between topics and comes back to them. The chapters mark where each topic starts, and the brief states the main points and takeaways, which is a good first draft of an interview summary.

Seventy minutes on a $6 pack

The first 20 minutes are free, and the pack picks up from where the preview ended. Of the $6 pack's 500 minutes, this interview uses at most 90, so at least 410 stay for the next five or so interviews of the same length.

Why 90 minutes is awkward elsewhere

Ninety minutes is past most free limits and a long afternoon to type.

✗ Typing it yourself

A 90-minute interview typed by hand takes most of a working day, and quotes go in from memory.

  • Six hours or more of typing
  • Free tiers that quit around minute 30
  • Quotes reconstructed from notes
  • Rewinding to check one sentence
  • A subscription for a handful of interviews
  • No summary to send to the editor

✓ Reading it in minutes

The full interview comes back as one document with quotes, chapters and a brief.

  • About 3 minutes for the whole conversation
  • The first 20 of the 90 minutes free
  • Every key quote with its timestamp
  • Interviewee named in the summary, quotes and chapters
  • A brief stating the main points
  • DOCX for the appendix or the edit

00:00:35 I appreciate you giving me the afternoon. Let's start at the beginning: how did you end up running the night shift?
00:18:22 Nobody else wanted it, honestly. Within a year I knew every machine on that floor by its sound.
00:52:10 You said earlier the change in 2019 was the turning point. What changed, exactly?
01:27:48 If you print one thing from this, print that the people on the floor saw it coming first.

FAQ

90-minute interviews, the common questions.

How fast is a 90-minute interview transcribed?

About 3 minutes at the usual rate of roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. The first 20 minutes appear first, so you can start reading while you decide.

What does a 90-minute interview cost?

The first 20 minutes are free for a first-time visitor, and the $6 pack of 500 minutes transcribes the rest from where the preview ended. A project of 20 interviews at 90 minutes is 1,800 minutes, which fits the $12 pack of 2,000; 30 of them, 2,700 minutes, belong on the $24 pack of 5,000.

What size is a 90-minute interview file?

A phone voice recording is usually 40 to 90 MB, an MP3 about 85 MB, and a WAV from a field recorder around 1 GB. A video call recording of 90 minutes is often several hundred megabytes. Every one of those uploads before a pack, where the limit is 2 GB.

We recorded the interview in two parts. Can they be combined?

Send both files; each comes back with its own clock and chapters. If you want one timeline, join them in any audio editor before uploading, since one file can be up to 10 hours.

Which languages work for interviews?

99 languages are detected automatically, including Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, Hebrew and Swedish. Switching between English and Tagalog within the interview is handled. Other mixes are detected on the main language, so check the passages in the second language.

Which formats can I download, and who hears the interview?

You can download TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, which matters for an off-the-record aside or an unpublished story.
