Open the original- What it measures
- This is SpeechText.AI's own home page for its file transcription service. The Pricing section says 'Affordable pay-as-you-go pricing plans. No monthly fee, pay only for what you use', and lists each plan's price and transcription minutes. The page writes 2,000 as '2.000', with a full stop as the thousands separator.
- What it does not show
- The per-hour figure is the plan price divided by its minutes, times 60: $99 divided by 2,000 is $0.0495 per minute, and 60 times that is $2.97. The page does not say whether unused minutes expire. The same vendor's API packages cost less per hour (see the API facts), and the two price lists conflict.
