Transcribe a 90-minute seminar while the reading list is still open.
A 90-minute seminar takes about 3 minutes to transcribe, since processing runs at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio, and the recording is usually somewhere between 80 MB of room audio and a few hundred MB of video. Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire.
From the seminar room to a study text
Every argument, objection and reference, findable by the minute it was made.
Where seminar recordings come from
A seminar is usually captured by a phone or small recorder on the table, a lecture-capture system in the room, or the cloud recording of a Zoom or Teams session. Room audio at 128 kbps is about 86 MB for ninety minutes; a meeting-app video runs to a few hundred MB. Upload the file, or paste a Google Drive share link or a YouTube or Vimeo address if the session was posted there.
Three minutes of waiting
At about 2 minutes of processing per audio hour, ninety minutes is done in around three. For a sense of scale, our public proof page shows 9.31 hours of audio finished in 1,033 seconds. Keep the tab open: the transcript appears there the moment it is ready, and it stays in your Library.
One seminar, one term
Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire. Two parallel seminar groups across the same term, 2,160 minutes, move to the $18 pack of 3,000 minutes.
What you get back
A brief with the seminar's thesis and takeaways, chapters that follow the shift from presentation to discussion, the authors, dates and figures that were mentioned, and the questions the session answered. Participants are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters. A chat over the transcript finds the moment someone raised a counter-example.
Why seminar notes fall short
The best point of the seminar was made while you were writing down the previous one.
✗ Notes taken during discussion
One person writes while everyone else talks, and the notes catch conclusions but lose the reasoning that led there.
- Half-sentences from a fast exchange
- References noted as 'that paper from 2019'
- A presenter's slides with none of the discussion
- Ninety minutes of audio nobody scrubs through
- A study group asking who made which point
- Nothing to quote in a response paper
✓ The seminar as searchable text
The whole session in writing, with the structure pulled out so you can move straight to the part you need.
- A 90-minute session read in about 3
- Free preview of the opening minutes
- Packs from $4 for 300 minutes
- Presentation and discussion as separate chapters
- Authors, years and figures listed in the brief
- DOCX for the study notes, SRT for the video

FAQ
Ninety-minute seminars, the questions people ask.
How long does a 90-minute seminar take to transcribe?
Roughly 3 minutes. Processing runs at about 2 minutes per audio hour, so the seminar is usually text before you have packed up the room. Longer files scale the same way: a 3-hour session is about 6 minutes.
What does one seminar cost, and a whole term?
Every recording starts with a free preview of its opening minutes. Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes. Twelve weekly sessions add up to 1,080 minutes, which the $18 pack of 3,000 covers. Credits never expire and there is no subscription.
The seminar was filmed. Is the video too large?
Video from a meeting app is normally a few hundred MB. Full-HD camera footage can pass 2 GB in ninety minutes; files that size start with or without a pack, and every file can be up to 10 hours or 5 GB. Exporting just the audio track gives a far smaller file.
Can I paste a link instead of uploading?
Yes, for a seminar posted to YouTube or Vimeo, or shared from Google Drive. A recording kept inside a learning platform is downloaded first and then uploaded, since only those link sources are fetched directly.
Some participants speak another language. Does that matter?
99 languages are detected automatically and each recording is read on its main language, so a seminar run in German, Spanish or Swedish needs no setting. English terms inside other-language speech are handled; a session that keeps switching language is worth a read-through in the second language.
What can I export, and who sees the seminar recording?
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON from the same run. Seminar recordings are processed on our own servers and are never used to train any model, and you can delete the file and its transcript whenever you like.
