Why is WAV different from MP3 for transcription?

WAV is uncompressed — no lossy artifacts. Transcription accuracy is marginally higher, especially for quiet consonants like S, F, and T.

What bit depths are supported?

16-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit (integer or float) PCM. Broadcast WAV (BWF) with BEXT metadata also handled.

Free tier: 2 GB and 5 minutes of audio. Registered users: 30 minutes/month. Pro: 10 hours/month. WAV is larger than MP3 — mind the size.

Metadata (timecode, description) is read for context but not modified. The output transcript is a separate text file.
