1. Signup - Upload Your First File

To get started, you’ll need to upload an audio file. this could be any file that has audio content - a podcast, zoom meeting, voice note, etc.

If you don’t have a file handy, just copy paste a publicly available video link from youtube.

  • Terminology:

    • Magic words = word with special spellings (names, businesses, lingo)

    • Expected speakers = the # of speakers (leave blank if you don’t know)

    • Context Prompt = what is this file about? (leave blank if you don’t know)

Credit card - we incur a cost for every transcript generated. to guard against spam and fraudulent account abuse, we require cc to access your content + 7 day free trial.
