Transcribe a 24-hour stream in three parts.
Here is the honest answer for a 24-hour stream: one file can be up to 10 hours, so a full day of streaming goes in as three files. Each part over 6 hours starts once a pack is on the account, all three together take about 48 minutes, and 1,440 minutes of stream fits the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes.
Subathons and marathons
A full day of broadcast, in an order you can follow.
Why three files
The per-file ceiling is 10 hours, so 24 hours needs at least three parts. Cut where the stream naturally broke: a sleep segment, a game change, a guest swap. Three 8-hour parts work as well as 10, 10 and 4.
Pack first for each long part
A stream recording over 6 hours starts once a pack is on the account, and every part of a 24-hour stream is probably over 6 hours. Buying the pack before you start avoids waiting on the first file.
About 48 minutes in total
Each 8-hour part takes about 16 minutes. On our proof page, a 9.31-hour file was transcribed in 1,033 seconds, which is the scale each part runs at.
The whole day, searchable
All three parts sit together in your Library, and search runs across them, so a line from hour 19 is found the same way as one from hour 2. Each part has its own brief and chapters.
What a marathon stream needs
Twenty-four hours is beyond almost every transcriber.
✗ Most tools
Built for meetings, they refuse a file long before it reaches a full day.
- Caps of an hour or two per file
- Uploads that fail past 1 or 2 GB
- Twelve or more parts to manage
- Prices quoted per minute, with no total
- Timestamps that restart with every part
- No way to search across the parts
✓ Three parts here
The day goes in as three files, and the parts read as one record.
- Up to 10 hours in each part
- VOD links for Twitch, Kick and YouTube
- About 48 minutes for all three
- One $12 pack for the whole day
- Search across every part at once
- A brief and chapters per part
Sample output
One line from each part of the day.
Illustrative output from a pretend marathon. Each part's clock starts at zero, so note where you cut it; with 8-hour parts, the second part's 00:00:00 is the stream's hour eight.

FAQ
24-hour streams, answered.
How long does a 24-hour stream take to transcribe?
About 48 minutes across the three files, at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. The files can be sent one after another without waiting. Each 8-hour part is usually ready in about 16 minutes.
What does 24 hours of stream cost?
1,440 minutes. The $12 pack holds 2,000 minutes, so it covers the full day and leaves 560 minutes. Credits do not expire, and no subscription is involved.
Do I get a free preview on a 24-hour stream?
Not on the long parts. Any stream recording over 6 hours starts once a pack is on the account. The first 20 minutes free applies to shorter recordings on a first visit. Buy the pack first and all three parts start the moment you send them.
Why can't I send all 24 hours as one file?
One file is capped at 10 hours or 5 GB, whichever comes first, so a full-day broadcast goes in as three. Splitting at a break in the stream keeps each part's chapters tidy.
Does it work when the stream switches language overnight?
Yes. 99 languages are detected automatically, so a co-host taking over in another language is handled without settings. Each part's language is detected separately, too.
What formats come back, and is the stream kept private?
Each part exports as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON. Keep the part number in each file name so the exports sort in order. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
