Frequently asked questions
How long can the MP3 be?
There is no hard length limit. An hour-long podcast works fine; longer files just take proportionally longer.
Can I get timestamps for my MP3 transcript?
Yes. Use the Timestamps tab for timestamped text, or the SRT and VTT tabs for subtitle files.
Is the transcription accurate for phone recordings?
Whisper handles compressed and slightly noisy audio well. For rough recordings, keep the default “Accurate” setting rather than “Fast”.
