Modes overview

Live Transcribe offers three transcription modes—Basic, Pro, and Ultra—designed to fit different environments and needs. Whether you're having a quiet, in-person conversation or trying to capture speech from across a room, you can choose the mode that works best for you. Each option balances accuracy, features, and cost to give you flexibility and control.

Pro

Pro provides a set number of hours per month depending on your plan and allows you to transcribe at a distance with higher accuracy. You can buy more hours as needed within a month for $1.49 USD per Pro hour. To do this, press ‘Add More Time’ on the home screen.
To use Pro, press the large "Transcribe" button
