What counts
Exactly what you’re billed for.
- Batch: seconds of audio processed. Multichannel bills per channel — a 10-minute stereo visit is 20 channel-minutes, $0.80.
- Streaming: seconds of audio sent to the session.
- Rejected and failed requests: never billed.
“Billing can never fail a transcription — metering is fire-and-forget.”
