3. Getting a subscription

Transcription App is freemium. The free mode is not a trial: it is free forever and transcribes complete recordings, with no duration limit, using Whisper Base. A subscription unlocks the more advanced models and a few extra features.

What is free, and what a subscription adds

  • Transcription of complete recordings, with no duration limit, using Whisper Base
  • Unlimited projects, the queue, speaker segmentation and recognition
  • Transcript editing, notes, search and the subtitle editor
  • Exports to .txt, .json and .srt, transcript imports and full-storage backups
  • Your existing work stays accessible if a subscription ends

With a subscription:

  • The other models: Whisper Large Turbo, Parakeet v3, Whisper Medium and Whisper Small
  • Creating subprojects (nested projects)
  • Exporting and importing project archives
  • Word (.doc) exports of transcripts and notes
  • WebVTT (.vtt) subtitle exports, which keep per-subtitle styling
