Transcribe long interview recordings made in Spain.
A 2-hour interview recorded in Spain is transcribed in about 4 minutes, and four interviews of 100 minutes, 400 minutes in all, fit the $6 pack of 500. Each quote comes back with the second it was said, so a journalist, historian or HR team can check the wording against the audio before it is used.
For people who quote
A long conversation, with every line you might quote tied to the moment it was said.
A quote you can verify
In a long interview the line that matters often comes late, said once and never repeated. Key quotes come back with timestamps, so the exact words can be played back before they go into a story, an archive record or a report.
Oral histories at full length
Life-history interviews run long on purpose, often past two hours with pauses and digressions. One file holds up to 10 hours, so a session recorded in a single sitting stays in a single transcript. Long silences and the sound of a kitchen in the background are not transcribed; only the speech is.
HR interviews, handled quietly
Exit interviews and internal reviews contain things people said in confidence. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, and you can delete the file and transcript as soon as you have exported them.
From a recorder or a phone
Interviews usually live on a phone, a portable recorder or a shared Drive. Upload the file, paste a Drive link, or use the upload page; files up to 2 GB go in before you buy anything. A WAV from a field recorder is larger than an MP3 but still well inside the limit for a two-hour session.
Why long interviews are slow to use
The recording is easy to make and slow to turn into text.

FAQ
Long interviews, the common questions.
How long does a 2-hour interview take to transcribe?
Close to 4 minutes; the rate is about 2 minutes for each hour recorded. A 90-minute interview is around 3.
What do several long interviews cost?
Four interviews of 100 minutes are 400 minutes, which fit the $6 pack of 500. A project of fifteen 2-hour interviews is 1,800 minutes, inside the $12 pack of 2,000. Credits never expire.
Can I check how it handles the interviewee's accent first?
Yes. A first-time visitor gets the first 20 minutes free, which shows how names, accents and interruptions came out before you pay for the rest.
Does a long interview need splitting?
No. A file can run to 10 hours or 5 GB. An interview recorded on a phone is usually well under 200 MB even at two hours.
Which languages work?
Spanish and Catalan are covered, with the rest of the 99 languages detected automatically. An interview that moves between languages is transcribed on its main language.
Which formats do I get?
TXT and DOCX for writing, SRT and VTT if you publish the video, and JSON for an archive system, all from the same run. Timestamps carry through to the DOCX, which helps when an editor or archivist asks where a line came from.
