    No recogniser gets names, jargon or crosstalk right every time. Click a paragraph and correct it — your edit doesn't break the timings. Rename a speaker once and the name follows the whole transcript.

    Could the chair have added it on her own?

    Speaker 2

    Not without the finance office knowing about it.

    Did she say who added the second tranche?

    No. She says it was added after the committee had signed off, and declines to say who added it.

    If a recording is too long to read in one go, the answer says how much of the middle it didn't see — instead of letting you assume it read everything.

    It knows what you recorded.

    A sales call and a user interview need different notes. Pick what you recorded and the summary is shaped for it.

    Themes, quotes worth keeping, and claims worth checking.

    It's told not to smooth things over.

    Each kind of recording gets its own instructions. For a meeting, the summary is told to leave open questions open; for an interview, to quote people word for word; for user research, to record a request as a request, not as a recommendation. It is still a model, so check what matters against the recording.

    Can I try it without an account?

    Yes. Put one recording of up to 10 minutes through it — upload it or record it — and you get a real transcript back, with no account and no card, and can read all of it. It is kept for 48 hours; get Pro and you can keep all of it in an account.

    What if the transcript is wrong?

    Then you fix it — that's the part we built most carefully. No recogniser is perfect on names, jargon or people talking over each other. The editor keeps your timings, and a custom word list stops the same mistake recurring.

    Which languages, and which get speaker labels?

    82 languages. The picker lists 110, because some of them come in more than one regional variant. Speaker labels are offered in all of them. In 14 of them (Chinese (Mandarin), English (US), English (UK), English (India), Japanese, Korean, Spanish (Spain), French (France), German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Hindi, French (Canada) and Spanish (US)), the recogniser labels the speakers itself; in the other 96, a separate pass does, on recordings of up to 2 hours. A longer recording in those comes back without labels, and so can a shorter one if the pass fails; either way, the transcript says so.

    What if a recording switches between languages?

    Name the main language rather than leaving it on automatic. Automatic detection has to decide what language each stretch of speech is in, and where a recording switches language, what was said in the other one may come back translated instead of transcribed — or not come back at all. Either way nothing is marked as missing: the transcript will look complete.

    What happens to my recordings?

    They're stored so you can play them back beside the transcript, and deleted with the transcript when you delete it. They are never used to train anything.

    How much does it cost?

    Trying one recording costs nothing: up to 10 minutes are transcribed with no account and no card, and you can read all of the transcript. Pro is for people who transcribe every week. See pricing.
