Questions

Are these real customers?

Yes. Each story is one paying account from the last 30 days, described by what its recordings were and when things happened. Names, e-mails, titles and transcript text are never shown, and nobody was contacted to appear here.

How quickly do people decide?

Of these 9 accounts, 5 paid within an hour of their first upload and 3 paid before the first upload had even finished; one came back the next day. Across all payers in the period the median was 9 minutes.

Why do the stories mention file sizes and formats?

Because the recording in hand is what people search for. A 219-minute MP3, a 268 MB MP4, a 45-minute link: the point is that each went in as one file and came back as one transcript.

The numbers behind them: who pays · speed, measured · longest and largest this month.
