Questions
Do I need the extension?
No. The web app works from a pasted link. The extension only adds a transcript button on the episode page.
Is it free?
You can start free. The pricing page shows what the free and Pro plans include.
Which sites does it work on?
Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube videos with captions right away. Turn on all sites in Settings and it also finds episodes on show websites and other players. Episodes that are exclusive to one app cannot be transcribed.
What counts as a minute?
The length of the episode. If anyone already transcribed it with the same model, it opens instantly and uses no minutes.

They stay in your history on every device. Remove any of them, or delete your account and everything goes with it.
Can I cancel Pro?
Yes, any time from Plan and billing. Pro stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
