Open the original- What it measures
- Vocal Slice loads WAV, MP3, FLAC, M4A, AAC and OGG files of any length and transcribes them on the user's own computer with Whisper, so the price applies to batch transcription of recorded audio. The app has no streaming mode.
- What it does not show
- The free price is a software licence with no per-hour charge. The work runs on the user's own hardware, so the cost is their computer and time, not a metered fee. The page gives no per-minute or per-hour figure, and the app was sold before version 2, a past price that is not a current list price.
