Frequently asked questions

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.
What is the size limit?
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.
Do you preserve BWF metadata?
Metadata (timecode, description) is read for context but not modified. The output transcript is a separate text file.
Are my WAV files private?
Yes. Encrypted pipeline, auto-deleted within 24 hours, never used for AI training.
Can I transcribe a 24-bit 96 kHz file?
Yes. High-resolution WAV is downsampled server-side for transcription; the original file you uploaded is not modified.
