At busy moments you may be asked to come back in a few minutes.
Only while you are working. Signing in after you have uploaded moves that same file onto the longer clock. There is also a button to remove yours the moment you finish.
Longer files are transcribed up to that ceiling. Free recordings over half an hour are stored at reduced quality; the transcript is unaffected.
Twenty minutes a day with no account.
Pro gives three times the allowance, takes four-hour files, cuts ten highlights per upload instead of five, keeps recordings a week instead of a day, and adds a natural voice that dubs your clip into any language. MAX is four times Pro again: forty-eight hours a week, twenty highlights an upload, kept a month.
On Pro and MAX, yes. It marks each turn with who spoke, and you name them. It was tested on three voices, on crosstalk and on phone audio. Heavy talking over one another is untested, so it runs only when you ask.
Find who is speaking and mark each turn in the transcript.

For a long recording: pulls the parts that matter into a short cut of about this length, in the recording’s order, to review before cutting. A Pro account gets a sharper, more coherent pick with a reason on each.
No passages yet. Drag across the transcript and press + Add passage, or use Best takes above.
