Transcribe Grasshopper recordings and voicemails the long call and the stack of messages.
An hour-long Grasshopper call recording is transcribed in about 2 minutes once you save the audio and upload it here, with each file allowed up to 10 hours or 5 GB. The first 20 minutes are free, and a quarter's worth of voicemails joined into one 300-minute file fits the $6 pack of 500. WhipScribe is not connected to Grasshopper and nothing listens to your line; it works on the audio you save.
Getting audio out of Grasshopper
A small business line collects two kinds of long audio: recorded calls and a pile of voicemails.
Calls and voicemails
On plans with call recording, Grasshopper keeps recorded calls in the account, where they can usually be played and downloaded from the app. Voicemails can typically be delivered to email with the audio attached, depending on your notification settings. Either way the file is a common audio format; check what your download or email gives you.
Join the messages, or upload them one by one
Each voicemail can be uploaded on its own. If you would rather read a month of them in one place, join them in order in any audio editor and upload a single file, so the messages sit on one clock with chapters. The box hands heavy files to the upload page, up to 5 GB.
A quarter of messages, priced
A busy plumbing or legal line might gather 300 voicemails of about a minute each in a quarter: 300 minutes, inside the $6 pack of 500. Add a few hour-long recorded consultations and the same pack still covers most of it, with the rest kept for later.
What you get back
A brief of what the callers wanted, chapters with timestamps, and the names, phone numbers, addresses and dates they left. Callers are identified and named in the summary and key quotes, so the person returning calls has a list rather than a queue to play.
Where Grasshopper audio stalls
Messages pile up while you are on the job. Calling back starts with listening to all of them.
✗ Audio in the inbox
Voicemails and recorded calls wait for a quiet hour that never comes.
- Thirty voicemails played one at a time
- Phone numbers written down on the third replay
- An hour-long call nobody wants to replay
- A merged file too large for a 25 MB API limit
- Quotes for work remembered roughly
- Callbacks in the wrong order
✓ A list you can work through
Upload the audio once and read every caller's request on one page.
- An hour of audio in about 2 minutes
- 20 minutes of messages free to start
- A quarter of voicemails on one $6 pack
- A chapter per message in a joined file
- A chat that lists callers to ring back
- DOCX to print for the morning round

FAQ
Grasshopper recordings, answered.
How fast is an hour of Grasshopper audio?
About 2 minutes after the upload, at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. A single one-minute voicemail is back almost at once, and a three-hour joined file of messages takes about 6 minutes.
What does it cost?
A first visit makes the first 20 minutes of Grasshopper audio free. Up to 500 minutes of calls and voicemails fit the $6 pack, and busier lines can step up to the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes. Packs are one-time in US dollars, and unused minutes never expire.
How do I get the audio out of Grasshopper?
Recorded calls can usually be played and downloaded from the Grasshopper app on plans that include recording. Voicemails can typically be sent to email with the audio attached; save the attachment and upload it.
Is there a file limit?
A Grasshopper file can be up to 10 hours or 5 GB. Before a first pack, uploads stop at 2 GB, and a larger file starts once a pack is bought. Voicemails and phone calls are tiny by comparison.
Do I need permission to record calls?
Recording a call needs the consent the law where you and the caller are requires; a greeting that says calls are recorded is the usual way to handle it. WhipScribe transcribes only audio you are entitled to upload.
Which exports, and is Grasshopper audio kept private?
Grasshopper audio comes back as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. Grasshopper recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training. A message in any of 99 languages is detected automatically, so a caller who leaves a message in Vietnamese is handled.
