## Japanese Audio to Text FAQ

### Does it add furigana or romaji?
No — you get standard Japanese text. Paste it into a furigana or romaji converter if you need reading aids.

### Is it really free without signing up?
Yes. Without an account you can transcribe files up to 10 minutes, 3 files a day. A free account gives you 120 free minutes every month and files up to 30 minutes. After the free minutes, transcription uses 1 credit per 5 minutes of audio, and paid plans allow files up to 60 minutes.

### Do you keep my recording or transcript?
No. Your file is converted in your browser and sent in short pieces for transcription; we don't store the audio or the text. Download your transcript before closing the page.
