What it costs to transcribe audio in rupees
The plan costs ₹949.45 a month in rupees, and the allowance of the plan is 1,500 minutes of audio — ₹0.63 for every one of them. The money itself is taken in dollars; the rate of 23 October 2026 (₹94.945055, European Central Bank) is what turns the plan into rupees.
The short version
One minute of audio — ₹0.63. One month of Pro — ₹949.45, with 1,500 minutes inside it. The free plan costs nothing and takes three files of up to 30 minutes a day. The rate is ₹94.945055, the one of 23 October 2026.
How the market prices it
Every figure comes from the pricing page of the service, and the date it was read is next to it. A service that sells its minutes inside a monthly plan is quoted as it is, with no per-minute price derived from it.

The price of your recording
The slider and the number field are two ways of the same thing: the length of your audio. Everything is recalculated the moment the number changes.
This audio, at the rate of Pro
₹37.98
60 minutes of audio, at $10 a month for 1,500 minutes of audio
What Pro costs
₹949.45
$10 a month for 1,500 minutes, or $120 for the year
What the free plan gives
₹0
The free plan takes files of up to 30 minutes, so a file of 60 minutes needs the Pro plan.
The price of a minute
₹0.63
the rate of Pro, $10 for 1,500 minutes of audio
The rate of the day: 1 USD = ₹94.945055 — European Central Bank, 23 October 2026. The price of the plan is paid in dollars; this page shows the same plan converted.
The price of a recording
Six lengths, one formula: minutes times the rate of the Pro plan. The second column is the result, the third one says how much of the monthly allowance the recording would eat.
| The recording | Price at the Pro rate | Share of the allowance | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15 minutes | ₹9.49 | 1 % of 1,500 minutes | ₹9.49 at the Pro rate — and the free plan takes files this short. |
| 30 minutes | ₹18.99 | 2 % of 1,500 minutes | ₹18.99 at the Pro rate; the longest file the free plan takes. |
| 1 hour | ₹37.98 | 4 % of 1,500 minutes | ₹37.98 at the Pro rate; the free plan stops at 30 minutes. |
| 2 hours | ₹75.96 | 8 % of 1,500 minutes | ₹75.96 at the Pro rate; the longest file any plan takes. |
| 5 hours | ₹189.89 | 20 % of 1,500 minutes | ₹189.89 at the Pro rate; a long recording, sent in chunks. |
| 10 hours | ₹379.78 | 40 % of 1,500 minutes | ₹379.78 at the Pro rate; split into files of two hours. |
Nothing in the table is a price of the service: it is the rate of the Pro plan applied to a length of audio. The plan itself is a flat monthly price.

Before you pay
Is a translation included in the price?
Nothing is translated. Russian and English speech is transcribed, and the result is the text of the recording with timecodes. A transcript in a third language is outside the plan, so write to support@transcrib.si first if the job needs one.
Is there a limit on the length?
Every file is limited to 64 MB and 120 minutes, on the Free plan and on Pro alike. What differs between the plans is how much audio you may send in a month: 1,500 minutes on Pro. If a recording runs past two hours, cut it into parts before you send it.
Does it handle Russian audio?
Russian and English are both supported, and the engine is tuned for Russian and for conversations that switch between the two. You set the language yourself or let the service detect it. Where the audio is processed depends on the language: Russian and mixed files on our own engine outside the United States, a pure English file on a third-party cloud speech provider in the United States when that fallback is on the server.
How do I pay?
Yes, a card is all it takes. The payment is handled by Stripe; we never see or store the card number. Nothing is charged on the Free plan and no card is asked for there. A paid plan can be cancelled from the Billing section of the app at any time.
