Free and local is a combo I did not expect, most tools tap out after 30 minutes haha. Is there a length cap per file, or can I throw a 2 hour interview at it?
@yelyzaveta_kibets Good question! Two ways to do it: live recording caps at 120 minutes per session, but if you already have an audio file, you can just import it—no length cap, handles 2 hours easily. Free tier works for both.🙌
@mia_hello Import with no cap is exactly what I was hoping for, thank you. Does an imported file get the same speaker separation as a live recording, or is that only when it hears the room?
