❓ FAQ

🔍 How does it work? Upload audio files, specify the language if needed, and the AI transcribes them. Results appear in your dataset within minutes depending on file size.

📊 How accurate are the transcriptions? The transcriptions use OpenAI's Whisper model, which achieves 99%+ accuracy on clear audio. Background noise or heavy accents may slightly reduce accuracy.

📅 Can I schedule runs or process multiple files at once? Yes. Integrate with Make, Zapier, or GitHub to schedule automatic runs, or upload multiple files in one batch for a consolidated dataset.

⚖️ Is transcribing audio legal? Transcription is legal for audio you own or have permission to transcribe. You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to process the audio files and comply with local laws.

🛡️ Will audio hosting services block me? No. The actor downloads files from the URL you provide. As long as the URL is publicly accessible, there are no blocking issues.

⚡ How long does a run take? Processing time depends on audio length. A typical 1-hour file takes 3-5 minutes. Longer files take proportionally more time.
