Videos without captions are transcribed like a file, with speakers and timestamps. ## Your transcriptions **AI Speech to Text** lists your transcriptions, 20 per page, each with its status: **Processing**, **Transcribed**, **No speech**, or **Failed**. Click one, or **Edit**, to open it. The AI Transcription page with Record Audio and Upload new buttons, and one item, Front desk call, marked Transcribed On a Teams plan, transcriptions teammates share with the team appear here too. ## If a transcription fails * **Failed** items are retried automatically. You can also open one and click **Retry transcription**; your file is kept. * **No speech** means no speech was found, for example a recording with the microphone muted. Check the recording and upload it again. ## Dictate into a text box The microphone button in Marky, the tools, and AI Images types what you say into the text box. Dictation doesn't use transcriptions. ## What it costs Each new item uses one transcription from your plan, whatever its length. An item counts when you pick a source or start a recording, even if you don't finish it or delete it later. Retries don't count again. Check your usage on [**Settings** > **Usage**](/docs/account/usage) and see [Audio plans and limits](/docs/audio/limits). AI Content and AI Chat use words. ## For developers Transcribe from your own code with `POST /api/transcriptions`, which needs a paid plan.
