FILE UPLOAD WORKFLOW · October 13, 2026
Upload a recording here — no public link required
Use the file picker to upload existing audio without publishing it anywhere first. This quick form accepts up to 90 MB. Premium and Premium Pro support eligible files up to 1 GB via the main app's chunked uploader; job duration and quotas still apply.
2. Track processing
After the upload is accepted, speech recognition can continue in the background. Check status in the app or account library.
3. Review and export
Check numbers, names and quotations against the source audio. Eligible completed signed-in jobs can export TXT, DOCX, SRT or JSON.
Signed-in Free: 60 minutes across 20 recordings each month. Premium: $4.99/month, 5,000 minutes across 500 recordings. Premium Pro: $14.99/month, 20,000 minutes across 2,000 recordings. An anonymous demo can be preview-only; job duration, file size, monthly quotas and access restrictions still apply.
Reviewed October 13, 2026. Automated speech recognition is an editable draft. Confirm critical names, numbers, quotes and timestamps against the source recording.
LONGSCRIBE PREMIUM
Need more recordings than Free allows?
Signed-in Free includes 60 monthly minutes across 20 recordings. Premium includes 5,000 monthly minutes across 500 recordings, with separate per-job and upload limits.
$4.99/month
Upgrade to Premium ($4.99/month) → Cancel any timeA file, not a live microphone
Select the recording in the form above. LongScribe uploads an existing file directly and transcribes its audio; this is not continuous live dictation, a live-meeting bot or a recorder.
Finish the upload before leaving
Keep this tab open while data is being uploaded. Once the job is accepted, processing may continue in the background. Return to your account library to review it; processing time depends on file duration and queue conditions.
MP3, WAV, M4A and other formats
Common voice memos, interviews, podcasts and phone recordings use MP3, M4A, WAV, AAC, FLAC, OGG or Opus. Noise, accents and overlapping speakers can reduce recognition quality.
Upload size limits by plan
Direct uploads are capped at 90 MB on the Free plan; uploads can be up to 1 GB on Premium (including Premium Pro) via chunked upload. Supported public URLs are fetched server-side and do not use the browser direct-upload limit.
Large audio files: monthly and individual job limits
The Free plan has monthly minutes and job-count allowances; paid plans have larger quotas. Per-job duration, file size and other eligibility limits still apply. The monthly total does not guarantee one giant recording can be processed.
Timed TXT, DOCX, SRT and JSON downloads
TXT is plain text, DOCX is an editable Word document, JSON is structured data, and SRT contains timed subtitle text. Check names, numbers and segment boundaries before publishing. These are automated drafts, not human-certified transcripts.
