Guides

People search for a task, not for a service: how do I get the text out of a call, out of a noisy recording, out of a short video. These guides answer one task each, with the limits of one file, the prices and the steps.

The guides of the hub and the task each one answers
Eight guides for the tasks that come up most often, and the pages of the site that go with them.

Start with the task you came to do.

Which file to upload

The containers we read, the limits of one file, and the two commands that make it fit.

Check and fix a transcript

Read it with the timecodes, work out who is who, fix the words that change the meaning.

Clean up the noise and the filler words

What to fix before the upload, what to fix after it, and the three levels of the cleaner.

Transcribe a short vertical video

How to take the file, how big it is, and what to do with the text of the clip.

Make subtitles from a recording

Export SRT or VTT, check the reading speed against the standard limits, split the fast cues.

Transcribe a call recording

Where the file is, whether it fits the limits, how to split the speakers and what the month of calls costs.

Transcribe many files with the API

The endpoints, the chunked upload over 8 MB, the exports and how the volume is paid for.

Transcribe a recording in another language

Russian, English, automatic detection, and what to do when the language is outside the two.
