Questions

What's a credit?

1 credit = 1 minute of audio. 60 credits = 1 hour. We price in hours and meter in minutes – you only pay for what you transcribe.

Do credits really never expire?

Never. They sit in your account until you use them – no monthly reset, no 'use it or lose it'.

Is there a subscription?

No. It's pay-as-you-go – you buy a block of hours only when you need them, and they never expire. No recurring charge, ever.

What happens when I run out?

Nothing breaks – you just buy another pack whenever you need it. We never auto-charge you.

Can I get a refund?

All purchases are final – but credits never expire, and you only ever buy what you need. Anything you don't use just waits in your account until you do. Charged by mistake? Email us and we'll sort it out.

Do you train on my audio?

Never. We don't train on your audio or transcripts, and you can auto-delete your audio after processing.

Refer a friend: give 2 hours, get 2 hours. Credits never expire – naturally.
