What You Can Do

• Transcribe audio files to text.
• Transcribe images and PDFs to text.
• Run a Quality Check to flag possible issues.
• Use Remediate for safe cleanups (intro/outro chatter, markdown artifacts, encoded entities).
• Get clear warnings for subtitle timestamp issues so you can review those sections manually.
• Track everything in real-time with progress and logs.

Before You Start

You need at least one API key:

• Mistral key (recommended; very fast, great for batch jobs): Mistral quickstart
• Gemini key (optional; slightly better image accuracy on many files): Get Gemini API key

Gemini vs Mistral (Quick Guide)

• Mistral: Very fast, especially when processing large folders in batches. Audio results are also very good.
• Gemini: Slightly better image accuracy in many cases, so it is a strong OCR choice when precision matters most.
• Many users add both keys: use Mistral when speed matters and Gemini when image accuracy matters most.

More AI model support is coming soon.
