Frequently asked questions
- What does it cost to transcribe a full episode?
- A 60-minute episode costs €1.20; a 90-minute episode costs €1.80. The 10 free daily minutes cover promotional clips or short segments at no cost. There is no subscription — you pay per episode processed.
- How long does transcription take?
- Most episodes are ready well before the recording's own length, regardless of which model you pick — exact timing depends on file length and current queue load.
- Why is MAI-Transcribe 2 recommended for podcast episodes?
- MAI-Transcribe 2 supplies word timestamps and a whole-file Precision-3 pass adds speaker labels, so a host-and-guest episode comes back with speaker turns already marked — useful for show notes and for readers skimming who said what.
- Can I use the transcript for SEO and show notes?
- Yes. The output is plain text that you can paste directly into your show notes page, use as an accessible episode transcript, or feed into an AI summariser for a condensed write-up. Publishing transcripts as text improves episode page indexing by search engines.
