Your voice creates value, but your words are getting lost. When your spoken content isn't properly transcribed, you're missing out on countless opportunities to reach, engage, and grow your audience.
The barriers to transcription are limiting your reach. Your automated service stumbles over industry jargon, turning "API endpoint" into "API and point" and "CRM pipeline" into "serum pipeline." When your bilingual speakers switch between English and Spanish, the service completely breaks down, forcing you to transcribe those segments manually. What should take minutes stretches into hours as your content sits in processing queues.
Welcome to transcription without compromise. Speech is Cheap delivers industry-leading accuracy in 100 languages through a simple API, at prices that disrupt the market. Integrate our lightning-fast service into your workflow and watch your reach expand while your costs shrink. Finally, there's a transcription service that scales with your success instead of preventing it.

Frequently Asked Questions
As a subscriber, can I transcribe more than 21,600 minutes per month?
Certainly! Speech is Cheap subscribers get the best rate in the industry. Every additional minute costs just $0.000926 (or $0.05556 per hour), which would automatically appear on the monthly invoice.
Are the add-ons included?
The optional add-ons are offered in addition to the core transcription service, so they're billed separately.
Will my minutes roll over?
No, the minutes do not roll over in the monthly subscription tier. In return, you get to take advantage of the lowest prices in the world. We strive to keep our pricing as transparent as possible. If you feel like you need significantly less than 15 days of audio transcriptions every month, you may benefit from the Pay-As-You-Go offering. Depending on your needs, it might make sense to subscribe at a later point.
My content is multilingual. Can I still transcribe it?
Yes! If you don't specify a language, Speech is Cheap will attempt to figure out the language for every audio segment in the file. It will then show you the most likely candidate along with an accuracy score for that language. For example, {"language": "en (99.95%)"}
