Daily Transcription FAQ
Hoe werkt facturering per minuut?
U kiest een abonnement met inbegrepen minuten (bijv. 200, 1.000, 2.500 of 6.000 minuten per maand). Elke getranscribeerde minuut wordt van uw tegoed afgetrokken. Op rustige dagen gebruikt u minder, op drukke dagen meer.
Wat gebeurt er als ik mijn minuten overschrijd?
U kunt geen nieuwe transcripten aanmaken totdat u upgradet of uw abonnement vernieuwd wordt. Uw bestaande transcripten blijven toegankelijk. Geen automatische kosten — upgrade alleen als u dat wilt.
Hoe worden minuten geteld?
Eén minuut audio staat gelijk aan één minuut transcriptie. Stilte telt ook mee. Meerdere sprekers vermenigvuldigen de minuten niet. Duur wordt naar boven afgerond.
Kan ik mijn abonnement op elk moment wijzigen?
Ja, u kunt op elk moment upgraden of downgraden. Wijzigingen gaan direct in. Drukke maand? Upgrade. Rustige maand? Downgrade of pauzeer.
Is er een gratis proefperiode?
Ja, nieuwe gebruikers ontvangen 30 minuten gratis. Probeer transcriptie met uw eigen opnames voordat u een abonnement kiest.
Hoe nauwkeurig is de transcriptie?
De nauwkeurigheid is doorgaans 90-95% voor heldere audio met minimaal achtergrondgeluid. Factoren zoals audiokwaliteit, sprekerduidelijkheid en achtergrondgeluid beïnvloeden de nauwkeurigheid.
Satisfaction Guarantee

Note: Actual transcription time depends on audio quality and server load. Most files process faster than real-time.
