Q: What's the difference between Transcribe and the full compliance package?

Transcribe takes audio and returns just the transcript in PDF, VTT, SRT, and TXT. The full compliance package takes a finished video and returns broadcast-spec captions in four formats (VTT, SRT, TTML, SCC) plus an audio-description script and AD voiceover. Use Transcribe when you only need the words; use the package when a spot ships to broadcast or OTT.

Q: What audio can I upload?

Common audio formats like MP3, WAV, and M4A, as well as the audio track from a video file. Upload the recording and download the transcript in four formats.

Q: How many credits does a transcript cost?

One credit covers up to 60 minutes of transcription — a flat rate, regardless of length up to the hour. That goes much further than a full compliance job, which uses 1 credit per 2 minutes, 2 credits per 5 minutes, and 3 credits per 10 minutes.

Q: Do the same credits and packs work for both?

Yes. Transcribe runs on the same credits and the same packs (Starter, Studio, Agency, House) as the compliance product. A transcript just costs far fewer credits per minute. Three free credits on signup; credits never expire.

Q: Which languages does Transcribe support?

English only for now. The full compliance package supports English, Spanish, and French; additional Transcribe languages are on the roadmap.

Same customers, lighter job

For the jobs that
only need words.

Agencies & production

You usually buy the full compliance package — but plenty of jobs only need a transcript. A client interview, a raw VO take, a recorded briefing. Get the words back in minutes, for a fraction of a credit's usual reach.

Brand & corporate teams

A searchable transcript of a webinar, town hall, or podcast episode — fast. Drop it into your CMS, repurpose it into a blog post, or hand it to legal for the record.

Editorial & post

Paper-edit from a transcript before you touch the timeline. Pull the soundbite, find the quote, script the cut — all from clean, timestamped text.

What it costs

One credit.
One hour
of audio.

Transcribe runs on the same credits and the same packs you already buy — a transcript just goes a lot further per credit than a full compliance job.

Q.06Can I get the full compliance package later?

Q.07Why not just use a free transcription tool?

Free ASR tools hand you a raw text dump — timestamps you have to fix, no clean PDF, no VTT/SRT ready to drop into a player, and an install or GPU hassle every time. Transcribe returns four ready-to-use formats in minutes, no setup, timing you can trust. Your first 3 hours are free — run it against your current tool and compare.
