The file you have
There is no link to paste for this one. Get the file onto your phone or computer first, then upload it in the box above.
How it works
Card reader or USB card reader mode; copy the WAV or MP3 to your computer.
Under 500 MB goes in this box; larger WAVs through the main upload page, up to 5 GB.
About two minutes per hour of audio; a pack opens the transcript and SRT, DOCX and TXT exports.
Good to know
What comes back
The same four things for every Zoom H1n recording, whatever its length.
Every line carries its time. Click a line to hear that second again, or search a name or phrase and jump to each place it was said.
A brief with the takeaways, chapters with their start times, and the quotes worth keeping. Speakers are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters.
Ask where a topic came up or what was decided, and get the answer with the time it was said, instead of scrolling the whole text.
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT, JSON from the same transcript: a document to edit, caption files for video, plain text to paste, structured data for your own tools.
Pricing
A 100-minute focus group is 100 minutes, so the $4 pack (300 minutes) covers it 3 times over. Every recording gets a free preview, and in 31 countries, or for recordings of an hour or more in most others, a summary you can read before paying; a pack opens the full transcript and every export. Packs are one-time purchases with no subscription and no seat fee.

The preview is free, and so is the summary in 31 countries or for recordings of an hour or more. A pack opens the full transcript: $4 for 300 minutes, $18 for 3,000 minutes, $32 for 6,000 minutes. Packs are one-time, credits never expire, and Workspace is $19 a month if you transcribe every week.
