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?
- MAI-Transcribe 1.5 processes audio faster than real-time, so a 60-minute episode typically finishes in seconds. Whisper takes slightly longer but is still well under the recording length for most episode files.
- Why is MAI-Transcribe 1.5 recommended for podcast episodes?
- MAI-Transcribe 1.5 handles large files in a single pass with no chunking, so long episodes come back as one clean transcript without stitching artefacts at segment boundaries. It is also the fastest of the three models on equivalent files.
- 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.
