Fast enough that you'll wonder why you ever did it manually. A 1-hour recording? Done in about 10 minutes. Most files finish in a fraction of the actual audio length. Upload it, grab a coffee, and it's ready.
For clear recordings, you're looking at 95%-8% accuracy -that's near-human level. Even with background noise or accents, our engine produces significantly fewer errors than open-source alternatives like Whisper. The cleaner your audio, the closer you get to perfection.
99+ languages -English, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, and dozens more. If your team or clients speak it, we transcribe it. No add-ons, no extra fees.

Never shared. - End-to-end encryption during upload and storage. - Original audio/video files are permanently deleted within 24 hours after processing. We built this the way we'd want it if it were our own sensitive recordings.
