FAQ
Is there really no paid plan?
Not today. Transcription, copy, and TXT download work without an account.
Will free transcription stay free?
We plan to keep the free tier usable. Paid extras may arrive later, but basic transcription is not moving behind a wall.
Is usage unlimited?
Yes. Transcribe as many files as you want.
Is this faster than OpenAI Whisper?
Yes. On typical files it finishes about 10 times faster, because recognition runs on your device instead of waiting on an upload to Whisper.
Do you use cookies?
No. FreeAudioTranscription does not set cookies. Theme, crash recovery, and a short timing hint stay in local storage on your device.
