Open the original- What it measures
- This is SpeechText.AI's own product page for its Speech to Text API. The Pricing section says 'Monthly subscription packages' and gives each package's price, its recognition minutes and its price per minute. The page writes 5,800 as '5.800', with a full stop as the thousands separator.
- What it does not show
- A monthly subscription: the per-hour figure is the per-minute price times 60, and it applies to the minutes the package includes. The page's comparison table gives SpeechText.AI a price of $0.7 to $1.0 per hour with no package named; that table is not used. The web plans on the home page cost more per hour.
