BrassTranscripts Introduces Flat-Rate Pricing with Up to 67% Savings on Long-Form Audio
The Californer/10335127

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - Californer -- BrassTranscripts announces a simplified pricing structure that delivers significant cost reductions for customers transcribing long-form audio and video content. The new flat-rate model replaces per-minute pricing for files over 15 minutes, resulting in savings of up to 67% for two-hour recordings.

The updated pricing structure establishes two tiers: $2.50 flat for files 1-15 minutes, and $6 flat for files 16-120 minutes. The change eliminates variable per-minute calculations and provides predictable costs regardless of file length within each tier.

Customers transcribing longer content see the largest benefits. A 60-minute meeting recording now costs $6 instead of the previous $9—a 33% reduction. A 90-minute podcast episode drops from $13.50 to $6, saving 56%. Two-hour recordings see the maximum savings, falling from $18 to $6—a 67% cost reduction.

The pricing change follows infrastructure improvements that reduced operational costs while increasing transcription quality. BrassTranscripts processes audio using WhisperX large-v3 for speech recognition and Pyannote 3.1 for automatic speaker identification. Recent optimizations to the processing pipeline enabled faster turnaround and lower per-file costs, which the company is passing directly to customers.

"Long-form content creators have been our fastest-growing segment," said BrassTranscripts. "Podcasters transcribing weekly episodes, researchers processing interview recordings, and teams transcribing lengthy meetings all benefit from predictable flat-rate pricing. A 90-minute file costing the same as a 20-minute file removes the cost anxiety from longer recordings."

The flat-rate structure particularly benefits use cases common among professional users:

Podcast transcription: Episodes typically run 45-90 minutes. A weekly podcaster transcribing 60-minute episodes saves $156 annually under the new pricing.

Meeting documentation: Team meetings and client calls often run 60-90 minutes. Organizations transcribing 10 meetings monthly save $30-75 per month.

Research interviews: Academic and UX researchers conducting 60-90 minute interviews see immediate cost reductions of 33-56% per recording.

All transcriptions continue to include automatic speaker identification, four output formats (TXT, SRT, VTT, JSON), and the 30-word preview before purchase. Processing time remains 1-3 minutes per hour of audio.

The new pricing is effective immediately for all new transcriptions.
