Frequently asked about iZotope RX
How much does iZotope RX cost?
iZotope RX is a paid product. Pricing changes; verify on the vendor's own page before budgeting.
Does iZotope RX work on Mac, Windows and Linux?
iZotope RX runs on macOS and Windows. It is not listed for other platforms; check the vendor for anything beyond macOS and Windows.
How do I get started with iZotope RX?
There is nothing to install — iZotope RX is used in the browser. Create an account on the vendor's site and upload or connect your audio.
Does iZotope RX identify different speakers?
No. iZotope RX does not label speakers; a conversation comes back as one continuous text. If you need speaker labels, that is a separate tool or a different service.
Does iZotope RX give word-level timestamps?
No — iZotope RX produces segment or sentence timing only, so subtitle cues can land mid-word.
Can iZotope RX transcribe live audio?
No — iZotope RX works on finished files, not a live stream.
Is iZotope RX HIPAA compliant?
iZotope RX does not claim HIPAA compliance. For PHI, run it on infrastructure you control or choose a service that will sign a BAA.
What are the limitations of iZotope RX?
Steep learning curve; full Advanced tier is expensive.
Who is iZotope RX best for?
Pro audio engineers and post-production houses cleaning broadcast dialogue.
Does iZotope RX run offline?
iZotope RX runs on your own machine as a desktop app. Check whether the model runs locally or calls a cloud service — some desktop tools do both.

Can I automate iZotope RX-style transcription without running it myself?
Yes. If what you want is transcripts rather than the tool itself, Whipscribe does the same job as a hosted API: submit a file or URL, poll a job id, pull the result as txt, json, srt, vtt or docx. $0.012 a minute — about $0.72 an audio hour — bought as credits that never expire. The automation recipes on this site show it wired to Drive folders, Zoom recordings, S3 buckets and no-code platforms.
How is Whipscribe different from iZotope RX?
iZotope RX is something you run; Whipscribe is something you call. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and never used for training, and every job returns five formats plus an AI summary, quotes and topics. The first 20 minutes of any recording are transcribed free, and a pack from $6 (500 minutes) transcribes the rest and opens every export.
