Free call recording transcription without a card
- 1
Save the audio
The Save Audio Files setting keeps the recording in the app, where it can be shared out of it.
- 2
Copy the part you need
Every line of the text carries the moment it was said, so a quotation can be copied with its own timecode.
- 3
Wait for the text, not for the file
The upload of the call recording is quick; the engine reads it once and hands the whole text back as a document.
- 4
Keep the file on your own disk
The file of the call recording stays where it was downloaded, and the text that comes back is a separate document.
What comes back from the engine
- TXT
One segment per line, the way a person wrote it down. It is the format to paste into a ticket, a chat or a document.
- TXT, CSV
The start and the end time of every segment, and the speakers named separately when you ask for it.
- SRT, VTT
SRT and VTT with the time of every line, so the recording can carry its own subtitles.
- Markdown, DOCX
The transcript is edited through the API and exported as Markdown for a wiki, or as DOCX for a review.

up to 30 minutes on the free plan, no minute limit on Pro

What the free plan does not give you
For free call recording transcription, it is a file problem first and a text problem second. Getting the file is the part that depends on the platform; the text depends on nothing but the engine. A search then turns into a quotation with a timestamp, because the time of every line stayed in the text.
Tips
Turn on the split by speaker when more than two people talk in the call recording.
Give the speakers of the call recording their names in the editor, one time, and export again.
Send the audio track of the call recording when the platform gives you both.
The audio of the call recording is smaller than the video of the same call.
Export SRT when the call recording has to become a subtitled video.
