Transcription services in Manila for recordings that run for hours.
From anywhere in Metro Manila, a 3-hour recording in English, Tagalog or Taglish uploads here and comes back as text in about 6 minutes, with the first 20 minutes free and packs from $6 for 500 minutes. This is an online AI service with no office to visit and prices in USD, and the page below is honest about what it does and what a human transcription service still does better.
For Metro Manila offices, schools and researchers
Long recordings pile up fastest where the meetings never stop. The text turns each one into something you can file.
A brief for the people who missed it
Thesis, takeaways and the questions the recording answers come first, so a manager in Makati or a professor in Quezon City can read a 2-hour meeting in the time it takes to finish a coffee.
Figures you can check
Peso amounts, dates, case numbers and names said aloud are listed with timestamps, which is what a minutes-taker or a researcher usually needs from a long session.
Chapters that track the order of business
A board meeting moves from the report to the vote to other matters. Chapters mark each turn with a title and a time, and the people speaking are named in the summary and key quotes.
A week of recordings in one go
Paste a Google Drive folder of the week's recordings, or send one large video through the upload page.
Sending it out
Most long recordings in an office wait in a queue before anyone types them.
✗ Sending it out to be typed
A recording leaves the office, a quote comes back, and the text arrives after the meeting it was meant to prepare for.

FAQ
Transcription in Metro Manila, answered.
How fast is a long recording ready?
About 2 minutes per hour of audio, so 3 hours takes about 6 minutes and a full 8-hour training day about 16. The public proof page records a 9.31-hour file completed in 1,033 seconds, which is about 17 minutes.
What would a month of 2-hour meetings cost?
Four 2-hour meetings come to 480 minutes and fit the $6 pack of 500 minutes. Sixteen of them, 1,920 minutes, fit the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes, and a team recording more than that goes on the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes. Credits never expire, and a $19/month Workspace exists for a team that records every week.
Should I hire a human transcription service instead?
For some recordings, yes. A person can attend a session, sort out crosstalk by judgement, follow a strict style guide and stand behind the result. If you need an official record or verbatim work someone signs, use them: this is a fast AI transcript with timestamps for working from, not a certified court transcript, not a substitute for a court reporter and not legal advice.
Is there a file size limit for a Manila office upload?
A single recording can be as long as 10 hours or as large as 5 GB, whichever it reaches first. Before the first pack uploads go up to 2 GB, and past that the file starts once a pack is on the account. A YouTube or Google Drive link needs no upload at all.
What about Tagalog and other Philippine languages?
Tagalog, Filipino and English are detected without settings, and Taglish switches are handled. If a speaker moves into Bisaya, Ilocano or Bikol, those are supported as a fast first draft whose accuracy trails the major languages, so plan one review pass over those parts.
Where does the audio go, and in what formats does the text come back?
Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training; nothing is sent to a typist. Your office downloads the text as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON.
