Every transcription goes through several stages. Understanding the status helps you know what to expect.

Status Types

  • **PENDING** - In queue, waiting to start
  • **PROCESSING** - AI is actively transcribing
  • **COMPLETED** - Done! Ready to view
  • **FAILED** - Error occurred, needs retry

Processing Time Estimates

  • **Typical**: 1/4 of audio duration (10 min audio = ~2.5 min processing)
  • **FREE plan**: May be slower during peak times
  • **PRO/BUSINESS**: Priority processing, faster queue

What to Do If It Fails

  1. 1Check the error message
  2. 2Click "Retry" button
  3. 3If it fails again, try re-uploading
  4. 4Contact support if problem persists
