Transcribe long interview recordings in South Korea quotes you can find again by the minute.
A long interview recorded in South Korea, whether for a news feature, an oral history project or a hiring panel, transcribes here at about 2 minutes per audio hour, so a 90-minute conversation is back in about 3 minutes. Korean is detected automatically, the first 20 minutes are free, and a series of ten 90-minute interviews fits a $12 pack of 2,000 minutes.
Built for interviews that run long
The second hour of an interview is often where the useful answer is.
Every answer has a time
Each line carries a timestamp, so a quote you plan to publish or put in a report can be checked against the recording in seconds. That matters most when the speaker chose their words carefully and you need to quote them exactly.
Interviewer and subject, named
The interviewer and the person being interviewed are identified and named in the summary, the key quotes and the chapters. A reader of the brief sees which answers came from the subject without scrolling the whole conversation. upload page
Phone and recorder files
A voice recorder WAV, a phone M4A or the MP4 from a video call all upload as they are. Oral history sessions recorded across an afternoon can stay as one file up to 10 hours or 5 GB.
Sensitive conversations stay put
Interviews often hold things people said in confidence. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, and you can delete a recording and its transcript the moment the project is done.
Why long interviews stall
The transcript is the slow part of every interview project.
✗ Typing it back by hand
A careful transcript of a long interview takes most of a working day.
- Four to six hours of typing per recorded hour
- Pausing and rewinding to catch a soft answer
- Free tools that stop well before minute 90
- Quotes pulled from notes, not the recording
- No way to search a stack of interviews
- A backlog that grows with every new session
✓ Interview to text in minutes
The recording comes back with its quotes and structure already found.
- About 3 minutes for 90 minutes of talk
- The first 20 minutes free on your first visit
- Timestamps on every line for fact checks
- Names, figures and dates gathered in the brief
- A chat to ask what the subject said about a topic
- DOCX for the archive, TXT for your notes

FAQ
Long interview recordings, answered.
How long does a long interview take to transcribe?
At about 2 minutes per audio hour, a 90-minute interview takes roughly 3 minutes and a 3-hour oral history session about 6. You can upload the next recording while the first one runs.
What does a series of interviews cost?
Ten interviews of 90 minutes each add up to 900 minutes. That is more than a $6 pack of 500 holds, so the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes is the right one, and the 1,100 minutes left over carry to the next project because credits never expire.
Is there a size limit for an interview file?
One recording can run up to 10 hours or 5 GB. Before you buy a pack, files up to 2 GB upload, which is plenty for audio; a long interview filmed in high resolution may pass that and then starts once a pack is on the account.
Do I have to split a long oral history session?
Only if it runs past 10 hours. Anything shorter goes in as one file, keeps one continuous timeline, and the chapters show where each topic in the conversation begins.
Which languages can the interview be in?
Korean is detected automatically, and so are 98 other languages, so an interview with a visiting researcher in English or Japanese works the same way. An interview that switches language is transcribed on its main language, so review any passages spoken in the second one.
What do I get to download?
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON, all from one run. DOCX suits an archive or a newsroom draft, SRT and VTT add captions to a filmed interview, and JSON keeps the timestamps for a research database.
