Before you pay
Do you translate the audio as well?
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?
Yes. One file may be up to 64 MB and 120 minutes on every plan, Pro included. The Free plan is stricter: files of up to 30 minutes, three a day. A longer recording is cut into parts — the guide on long recordings shows how, and the API does it with chunked uploads.
How well does it do Russian?
The site publishes no accuracy percentage, and we will not invent one: ask for the evaluation report and the sample set. What the site does publish is the model profile — tuned for Russian speech and for mixed Russian-English conversation — and the place where a file is processed, which depends on the language of the recording.
Can I pay with a card from my country?
The plan is paid in US dollars, and the payment itself goes through Stripe, which is the card path in most countries. The price pages of this site convert the price of the plan into a local currency so that you can see the number in your own money; the invoice itself is issued in dollars.
