No. You can start transcribing immediately without creating an account. Sign up only if you want to save transcripts, access additional features, or manage multiple files.

We support all major audio and video formats including MP3, WAV, MP4, MOV, M4A, WebM, and more. You can also paste URLs from YouTube, Vimeo, and other platforms.

Anyone can transcribe files up to 30 minutes free, with no account. A free account keeps that going: your first file runs on the premium engine with speaker labels, up to an hour, and after it you can transcribe up to 30 files a day, up to 30 minutes each. Paid plans process the full file, and links and videos can run up to 24 hours each. On the free plan a link or video can be up to 3 hours long, and the per-file limit above still applies. A 3-hour lecture works in a single upload. Uploads can be up to 100 MB with no account, 1 GB on a free account, and 5 GB on a paid plan or with a pass or top-up.

Yes, on the premium engine: your first file, the Weekly Pass and paid plans. It detects and labels the different speakers in your transcript, so conversations, interviews, and meetings are easy to follow. Files on the standard engine have no speaker labels.
