- davidgu 1y ago$0.70/hr is our starter rate for low-volume testing. In production, developers will see higher usage and choose to commit to volume and longer-term usage. Because of this, we've seen most teams don’t pay the starter price once they scale beyond early pilots
- galaxy_gas 1y agoIs this with active speech or you pay in every second of silence too?
- davidgu 1y agoUsage includes silent time too as we are still processing the media streams
- galaxy_gas 1y agoWhat is the value in paying this massive cost when Teams, Zoom all support ootb?
- davidgu 1y agoEnabling transcription/recordings per platform and remembering to record creates user-dependent setup. Also the host often needs to install apps which adds security friction, and you still have to build/maintain separate implementations for Zoom/Meet/Teams which is often a cost that devs don't want to deal with Instead, we built a single API that can get the same results without the issues mentioned above so you can focus on building the features your users care about
- nduncan_hmc 1y agoIt is a lot but processing real time video and audio streams inherently consumes alot of CPU. So they may not be making as much profit on that price as you'd think. I run an open source alternative to Recall (for meeting bots), and our costs are about 8 cents per hour.

- IMTDb 1y agoThe median salary in the US is $29/hour. By definition a one hour meeting has at least two people in it; often more. So two median guys talking for an hour costs ~$60. The meeting the you really want transcripts for often contain more than one person; and often involve people earning more than the median. I'd happily ad $1 to every single one of my meetings if they get more productive.
