Please note that these free single-user monthly subscriptions do not include automated transcription. Automated transcription is only available through contracted institutional subscription or enterprise services.

Our free DIY subscriptions are valid for one person continuously for one month from the date of registration, and are automatically cancelled after the expiration of that period unless otherwise requested by the user.

Our automated voice-to-text transcription services are provided to our institutional subscribers and as part of contractual enterprise services through our partnership with IBM's Watson (our focus is on natural language analysis, not speech recognition). We partnered with IBM's Watson because of their state-of-the art capabilities in multilingual (and accent regulated) speech recognition. However, we partner to provide this service (and do not provide it ourselves) for a reason: The state-of-the-art in automated voice-to-text transcription is highly dependent on multiple factors, including several related to the content of the audio recording itself.

If your Institutional Review Board allows, individual researchers with recordings made on hand-held recording devices or less-than mid-grade microphones—i.e, desk microphones generally costing less than $70, headset microphones of less than $30, or lavalier microphones of less than $20—may find best outcomes through acquiring human transcription services provided by others. We've found these generally cost about $1.00 or more per minute, and take around 24 hours or more to receive results.

Call centers, communications and marketing companies, and institutional researchers with audio recordings made with industry standard equipment, however, will generally find IBM Watson's transcription services to be quite efficient for their large-scale needs.
