Best Use Cases
- Audio transcription — Convert speech recordings into text.
- Podcast processing — Generate transcripts for episodes and clips.
- Subtitle preparation — Extract spoken content before caption formatting.
- Meeting notes — Turn recorded discussions into readable text.
- Voice analytics — Prepare transcripts for search, tagging, or downstream analysis.
Pro Tips
- Use clean audio for better transcription accuracy.
- Leave
languageasautowhen the spoken language is clear and consistent. - Set a specific language when automatic detection may be ambiguous.
- Short clips are useful for fast testing before processing longer recordings.
- Review the output before publishing if the audio contains names, jargon, or strong accents.
Notes
audiois required.languageis optional.- Pricing is based on input audio duration and billed per started minute.
- Better audio quality generally improves transcription quality.
