FAQ

How accurate is the transcription?

Whisper large-v3 (the same model OpenAI uses internally), INT8-quantized for speed. On clean audio it's 95%+ accurate; on noisy audio it still beats most consumer services because we don't downsample.

How do I pay?

Stripe credit card. Buy credits in $5/$10/$25 packs — never expire. No subscription.

What file formats?

mp3, wav, m4a, ogg, flac, mp4, mov, webm, mkv. We extract audio automatically. Up to 1GB per file.

Speaker diarization (who said what)?

Coming soon — opt-in for $0.02/min extra. Detects up to 8 speakers.

Is there an API?

Yes — REST API with the same per-minute pricing. Email hi@lessrec.com for keys.

Refunds?

Unused credits refundable within 30 days. Email us.
