Five formats from every job
Most speech-to-text APIs hand you raw JSON and wish you luck. You get the files your users actually ask for.
- JSON
- SRT
- VTT
- TXT
Speaker labels included
Who said what, on every plan. In the JSON, the text file, VTT voice tags and the PDF.
Word-level detail
Timestamps and confidence for every word, plus readable segments for captions and search.
A PDF you can send
A clean, paginated transcript with speakers and timestamps — ready to send to a client, a colleague or the archive.
File or URL
Upload straight to storage with a presigned link, or point us at media that is already online.
Predictable pricing
Flat monthly plans with a real allowance, and per-second overage so a big month never breaks your app.
Your files don’t linger
Uploads are deleted after 7 days and transcripts after 30. Delete anything sooner with one call.
Three calls. That’s the integration.
One header for auth. No SDK, no webhooks to stand up, no queue to run.

Questions
Something else? info@audiotranscribr.com
What can I send it?
Common audio and video formats — MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, OGG, MP4, MOV, WebM and more. Upload the file, or pass a public URL and we fetch it.
What do I get back?
Every job produces five files: JSON (words, timestamps, speakers, confidence), SRT and VTT subtitles, plain text, and a formatted PDF transcript. Download any or all of them.
Does it label speakers?
Yes, on every plan, including Free. Speaker labels appear in the JSON, the text file, the VTT voice tags and the PDF.
How fast is it?
Short clips come back in seconds. Longer files take longer, but you never wait on an open connection: create the job, then poll its status.
How does billing work?
Plans include a monthly allowance of audio. On paid plans, extra minutes are billed per second at the plan's overage rate, so a busy month never stops your app. The Free plan stops at 60 minutes instead. Change or cancel any time.
How long do you keep my files?
Uploaded media is deleted automatically after 7 days and transcripts after 30 days. You can delete a transcription and its files immediately with one API call.
Is there an SDK?
You don’t need one — it’s four REST endpoints and an API key header. The docs have copy-paste examples for curl, JavaScript, Python and PHP, plus an OpenAPI file for Postman and code generators.
I lost my API key.
