Yes! You can transcribe files for free as a guest or with your free signup credits - no payment required to get started. Need more? You can buy additional credits any time (see Pricing above). If you find it valuable, you can also optionally support the project through our "Buy me a coffee" link to help with server costs and development.

No, you can start using Quick Transcribe right away as a guest, with no account required. Guests are limited to 3 transcriptions per 12 hours and files up to 60 min long. Creating a free account removes those limits (no file duration limit once signed in) and gives you 60 free credits (up to 59 minutes of transcription) to start.

Each transcription costs a flat 1 credit request fee, plus 1 credit per minute of audio, rounded to the nearest minute.

Quick Transcribe supports all major audio & video formats including WAV, MP3, MP4, FLAC, WEBM, MPEG, M4A, OPUS, MOV, and more.

Our transcriptions are powered by OpenAI's Whisper model, which provides industry-leading accuracy. Quality depends on audio clarity, but typically achieves 95%+ accuracy for clear recordings.

We support over 100 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi and many more.

Yes, your privacy is our priority. Your files are processed securely by our cloud provider and deleted immediately after your transcription is delivered. We don't keep your files or transcriptions, and we don't share them with anyone else. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Processing time depends on file length and server load, but most files are transcribed within minutes. Longer files may take proportionally more time.

You can copy the transcription text and edit it in any text editor. We also provide download functionality to save the transcription as a text file.

Guests can upload audio and video files up to 128MB. Sign up to upload files up to 512MB. For larger files, consider compressing the file or splitting it into smaller segments.
