Transcribe research interviews recorded in Israel, ready to code.
You have a folder of research interviews recorded in Israel, each between 60 and 120 minutes, and the coding cannot start until they are text. Each interview comes back in about 2 to 4 minutes with Hebrew or English detected automatically, the first 20 minutes are free, and a study of 30 ninety-minute interviews fits one $24 pack of 5,000 minutes.
From recorder to codebook
Interview audio becomes a document your coding software can open.
A participant's hour in two minutes
Processing runs at about 2 minutes for each hour of audio, so a 60-minute interview is usually ready in 2 and a two-hour one in about 4. Upload the next participant while the first is running. The finished text waits in your Library if you close the tab.
Hebrew without a setting
There is no language menu to get wrong. Hebrew is one of 99 languages detected from the audio itself, and English interviews in the same study are handled the same way. When a participant switches between Hebrew and English, the recording is transcribed on its main language, so give the passages in the other language a read before you quote them.
DOCX that drops into your project
Export each interview as DOCX and import it into the qualitative analysis tool your lab already uses, or take TXT for a plain archive and JSON for scripts. Timestamps stay with the text, so a coded excerpt can be traced back to the minute it was said when a supervisor asks.
A study's worth of minutes
Thirty interviews at an average of 90 minutes come to 2,700 minutes. The $24 pack holds 5,000 minutes and includes API access, which leaves room for follow-up interviews or a second wave. Credits never expire, so minutes bought on a grant this term are still there next year.
Why interview transcription stalls a study
Typing interviews by hand eats the months meant for analysis.
✗ The usual route
Most research teams type the interviews themselves or wait in a queue behind other projects.
- Five to six hours of typing per interview hour
- A research assistant's whole semester on transcription
- Hebrew audio sent abroad to be typed
- Files split because an upload limit was hit
- No timestamps to check a contested quote
- Text pasted into a codebook with formatting lost
✓ Upload and code
Each interview goes up whole and comes back as a document with a clock running down its side.
- A 90-minute interview back in about 3 minutes
- The first 20 minutes free to judge the result
- Whole interviews, never split for size
- Interviewees named in the summary and key quotes
- DOCX, TXT, SRT, VTT and JSON from one run
- Minutes that never expire between waves

This sample is illustrative: it was written for this page and is shown in English. It is not from any participant; a Hebrew interview comes back in Hebrew script with the same timestamps.

FAQ
Research interviews in Israel, answered.
How long does a 90-minute research interview take to transcribe?
About 3 minutes. The rate is roughly 2 minutes per audio hour, so a 60-minute interview takes about 2 and a two-hour one about 4. A batch of ten can be uploaded one after another while the first ones finish.
What does a full study of interviews cost?
Add up the minutes. Thirty interviews of 90 minutes each total 2,700 minutes, which the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes covers with 2,300 to spare. For one or two interviews, the $6 pack of 500 minutes is enough. Prices are in US dollars and every pack is a one-time purchase.
My interviews are recorded on a phone. Will the files upload?
Yes. A two-hour phone recording in M4A or MP3 is usually well under 200 MB. Before the first pack, files up to 2 GB upload, and after a pack the ceiling is 5 GB or 10 hours per file, so splitting is never needed for an interview.
Do I need to split an interview that was recorded in two parts?
No. Upload the two parts as two files and each gets its own transcript and timestamps. If you prefer one document, export both as DOCX and join them in your editor.
Does it handle Hebrew, and interviews that mix Hebrew with English?
Hebrew is detected automatically, as are English and 97 other languages. A recording that moves between two languages is transcribed on its main language, so read the passages in the second language before quoting them in a thesis or paper.
Who can hear the interviews, and is the data used for anything else?
Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, and you can delete an interview and its transcript at any time, which matters when your ethics approval sets how long raw audio may be kept.
