Thank you, Nancy 👍.

Thank goodness, I can’t do without Dropbox hugely impressive transcription function anymore.

Hi Donec, thanks for replying. The audio file I was wanting to transcribe is 15 mins long. Only 4.04 minutes was transcribed. I tried another audio file, this one was perhaps 50 minutes, again only just over 4 was transcribed.

Maybe I should have said that it only transcribed the first 4 minutes or so.

I am having this same issue. Any file I attempt, the transcription is only about 4 minutes.

The transcription limit was over well over 60 minutes, and if I recall correctly it was around 100 minutes!
