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 to process.
Can I get timestamps for my MP3 transcript?
Yes — switch to the SRT or VTT tab for a timestamped version of the transcript.
Is the transcription accurate for phone recordings?
Whisper handles compressed and slightly noisy audio well. For rough recordings, keep the default "Accurate" model setting rather than switching to "Fast".
