The Transcription Quality Problem

Traditional transcription services follow a problematic pattern:

Upload your file (often with account creation required)
Pay upfront (before seeing any results)
Hope the quality meets expectations (no preview available)
Request refund if unsatisfied (time-consuming support process)

This creates legitimate hesitation. How accurate will the transcription be? Will it capture technical terminology correctly? Will speaker identification work for your specific audio? You won't know until after payment.

The result: Buyers face uncertainty, delayed decisions, and occasional disappointment with quality after payment.

How the 30-Word Preview Works

BrassTranscripts eliminates this uncertainty with a transparent preview system:

Step 1: Upload Your File

Drag and drop your audio or video file. No account creation, no credit card required at this stage. The system accepts 11 formats including MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4, and more (up to 250MB, 2 hours maximum).

Step 2: Automatic Processing

Your file processes immediately using WhisperX large-v3 with automatic speaker identification. Processing completes in 1-3 minutes per hour of audio.

Step 3: Review Your Preview

You receive the first 30 words of your actual transcript—not a sample or demo, but your real transcription results with speaker labels.

Example Preview:

[Speaker 1]: Welcome everyone to today's quarterly business review
meeting. I'm excited to share our progress on the marketing
initiatives we discussed last month.

[Speaker 2]: Thanks for the introduction. Before we dive into...

Step 4: Decide with Confidence

If the preview meets your quality expectations, proceed to payment. If not, simply close the browser—no account to delete, no payment to dispute, no time wasted.

Step 5: Download Complete Results

After payment, download your full transcript in four formats: TXT, SRT, VTT, and JSON. All formats include speaker labels automatically. Learn more about choosing the right transcript format.

What You Can Verify Before Paying

The 30-word preview lets you check critical quality factors:

Transcription Accuracy

See how the AI handles your specific audio quality, accents, and speaking patterns. The preview shows actual transcription performance, not theoretical capabilities.

Word accuracy for your audio quality
Technical terminology handling
Accent and dialect recognition

Speaker differentiation (are voices separated correctly?)
Label consistency (does Speaker 1 stay Speaker 1?)
Conversation flow accuracy
Speaker change detection

Learn more about how speaker identification works and what to do if speaker labels are wrong.

No justification required - satisfaction is subjective

Policy Details:
