Audio to Text · Selection guide
Start with the recording workflow: file upload, live conversation, or a meeting bot. Speech-language support is different from interface language; verify the required language and export format at the source.
Minute quotas, per-file duration and speaker separation can have different limits. If you also need summaries, choose a version supporting both tasks. Unverified support for the required language is not a positive match.
Use a short, permitted sample to check names and speaker labels. Our table does not measure recognition accuracy. Review retention and deletion options before uploading private recordings.
