Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose PDF over plain text?

PDF documents are professional, shareable, and archivable.

  • Preserve formatting across all devices
  • Include AI-generated document titles
  • Look polished when sharing meeting notes, interview transcripts, or lecture recordings
  • Work offline and can be archived permanently

Can I edit the PDF after downloading?

No — PDF is a fixed-format document.

If you need to make corrections, add comments, or collaborate on edits, use Audio to Word instead.

You can always export Word to PDF once you're done editing.

Is the PDF searchable?

Yes, fully searchable.

The transcript text is embedded as real text (not an image), so you can use Ctrl+F / Cmd+F to search.

The PDF is also indexable by search engines and document management systems.

When should I NOT use PDF?

Skip PDF if you need to:

  • Edit the transcript — use Word
  • Import into a notes app — use Markdown
  • Add subtitles to video — use SRT

PDF is best for finished documents you need to share or archive.

How does the AI title formatting work?

Our AI analyzes your filename and generates a professional, human-readable document title.

For example, meeting_2024_01_15_final_v2.mp3 becomes Meeting - January 15, 2024.

This title appears at the top of your PDF document.

What is the difference between Fast and Quality models?

Two OpenAI Whisper models — choose speed or accuracy:

ModelEngineSpeedCost
FastWhisper V3 Large Turbo (809M)~216x realtime2 credits/min
QualityWhisper V3 Large (1.55B)~189x realtime5 credits/min

Fast is the default — great for clear audio, podcasts, and lectures.

Quality uses the full 1.55B-parameter model. Independent benchmarks show ~10% WER for Quality vs ~12% for Fast (Artificial Analysis). Choose Quality for accented speech, noisy recordings, or technical content.

Both models support 99+ languages. Switch in the options panel above.

Does Meeting Intelligence work in PDF transcripts?

Yes — Meeting Intelligence appears in PDF transcripts with clear speaker labels, making your document professional and easy to follow.

When Meeting Intelligence is enabled, each paragraph is prefixed with the speaker identifier (e.g., John: or Speaker 1:). This is especially valuable for:

  • Meeting records and minutes
  • Interview documentation
  • Legal or compliance recordings
  • Training session archives

Our AI post-processing attempts to extract actual names from the audio when speakers introduce themselves or are addressed by name. Important: This isn't perfect — if names aren't clearly stated, you'll see generic labels like "Speaker 1" and "Speaker 2" instead.

For the best results, ensure participants introduce themselves at the start of the recording: "Hi, I'm Sarah from Engineering..."

How are credits calculated for this conversion?

Cost: 2 credits per minute

How it works:

  • Files up to 1 minutes: 2 credits
  • 2 minutes: 4 credits
  • 3 minutes: 6 credits
  • 4 minutes: 8 credits

Example: A 10-minute file = 20 credits. A 180-minute (3h) audiobook = 360 credits.

Why per-minute? Audio conversion time scales with content duration, not file size. Longer audio requires proportionally more processing.

What are my daily and monthly credit limits?

Credit allocations vary by account tier:

TierDaily LimitMonthly Limit
Guest100 credits/day
Free100 credits/day
Pro12,000 credits/month

Daily credits (Guest & Free tiers) reset every day at midnight UTC. Monthly credits (Pro) reset on your billing cycle date.

Note: With 2 credit per minute, audio files under 1 MB cost 2 credit each. Pro users can convert 6,000 audio files per month.
