Accuracy is high on clear audio — most researchers correct nothing. Errors cluster around strong accents, poor room audio, crosstalk and specialist terminology, which is exactly the vocabulary a research interview is full of, so read the transcript before you quote from it. Every line is editable, each one links back to the moment in the audio it came from, and regenerating the summary picks up your corrections.

Yes. Transcription covers 99 languages and the spoken language is detected automatically, so there's nothing to configure before you upload. The same speech models handle every language — there are no dialect-specific or subject-specific models — so accuracy depends on recording quality and how much specialist terminology the interview contains. Speaker labels are available in fewer languages than transcription itself.

The free tier includes 300 minutes of transcription per month with a 60-minute cap per recording — once you reach the limit, transcription pauses until your minutes reset the next month. The Academic Year plan removes the monthly limit entirely, subject to fair use, and allows longer individual recordings.
