Transcribe recordings made in a stadium press box before the final whistle report is due.
Full-match commentary and post-match press conferences recorded in the press box come back as text at about 2 minutes per hour of audio, so a two-hour broadcast is ready in roughly 4 minutes. The first 20 minutes are free, and a $6 pack of 500 minutes covers the rest of that match and the presser after it.
What a stadium does to the audio
Forty thousand people, and a commentator trying to be heard over them.
Crowd out, commentary in
A press box recording sits on top of crowd noise that rises with every chance. Chanting, horns and applause are not transcribed. What comes back is the commentary, and a goal call shouted over a roar is still speech the transcript follows.
The presser, quotable
A post-match press conference runs 15 to 40 minutes and moves fast between questions. Key quotes carry timestamps, and the coach, captain and reporters are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters, so the line for the report is found in seconds.
A season, priced
Thirty-eight matches of two hours each, commentary only, come to 4,560 minutes. That belongs on the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes, at $0.29 an audio hour, with API access included for a desk that wants to automate the uploads.
Long days of play
Some sports run far longer than a football match. A full day of cricket or a tennis final can pass six hours; recorded as one file it processes in about 12 minutes, as long as it stays under 10 hours.
Why press box audio fails elsewhere
Long, loud and on deadline.

FAQ
Press box recordings, the common questions
How long does a match recording take to transcribe?
Processing takes around 2 minutes per hour recorded. A two-hour commentary is ready in about 4 minutes, a 20-minute presser in under a minute, and a six-hour day of play in about 12.
What does a season of commentary cost?
One match plus its presser, about 140 minutes, fits the $6 pack of 500 after the first 20 minutes free. A half-season of around 1,900 minutes goes on the $12 pack of 2,000, and a full season of 4,560 minutes on the $24 pack of 5,000. A $19/month Workspace also exists for a team that records every week.
How big can the broadcast file be?
Files go up to 10 hours or 5 GB each, whichever they hit first. The 2 GB line applies before your first pack, and a file over it begins once you hold a pack. A match recording as audio is well inside that; a full video feed may not be, so send the audio track.
Do I split commentary and the presser?
Upload them as separate files so each has its own transcript and clock. A single broadcast never needs splitting unless it runs past 10 hours. If the match was streamed on YouTube or Twitch, paste the link instead of uploading; a stream recording over 6 hours starts once a pack is on the account.
Can it transcribe commentary in other languages?
Yes. Commentary in any of 99 languages is picked up without a setting, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese and Afrikaans among them. A broadcast is detected on its main language.
What formats are there, and who keeps the audio?
The run yields TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON at once. Press box audio is transcribed on our own servers and is never used for training, and you can delete it after the report is filed.
