Bulk Transcription FAQ
How long does it take to transcribe 1000 hours of audio?
With NovaScribe's AI-powered transcription, 1000 hours of audio can be processed in approximately 100-200 hours of real time, depending on server load. You can upload files in batches and let them process while you work on other things. For very large projects, consider splitting uploads across multiple days to manage your workflow.
Can I upload files in batches?
Yes, you can upload multiple files at once. Each file is processed individually, so you can queue up many recordings and let them transcribe in the background. There's no limit on the number of files—only on total minutes per month based on your plan.
What happens if I exceed my plan minutes?
You won't be able to create new transcriptions until you upgrade or your plan renews next month. Your existing transcriptions remain accessible—they're never deleted due to plan limits. You can upgrade to a higher plan anytime for immediate access to more minutes.
Is there a discount for bulk transcription projects?
Our Studio plan ($20/month for 6,000 minutes) offers the best per-minute rate at $0.0033/minute. For enterprise-scale projects exceeding 6,000 minutes per month, contact us to discuss custom pricing options for your organization.
How accurate is automated transcription for large volumes?
Accuracy is consistent regardless of volume—typically 90-95% for clear audio with minimal background noise. Each file is processed independently using the same AI model. Factors like audio quality, speaker clarity, and background noise affect accuracy more than volume.
Note: Pricing calculated based on current plan rates. Minutes reset monthly. Large projects may span multiple billing cycles.
