Common fixes when upload or transcription fails.

Every plan supports the same max file size shown on pricing.

Try these steps

1. Shorten or compress very long files, then retry. 2. Sign in if you hit guest daily limits (3 transcriptions/day). 3. Use a common format: MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4, MOV. 4. Disable browser extensions that block uploads. 5. Refresh and upload again — duplicate detection may offer an existing transcript.
