What is Temi
Temi is an automated transcription software product that converts uploaded audio and video files into text transcripts. It is used by individuals and teams that need quick, low-cost transcripts for interviews, podcasts, lectures, and meetings. The product focuses on file-based transcription with an in-browser editor for reviewing and correcting text, rather than full meeting-assistant workflows.
Fast, file-based transcription
Temi supports uploading common audio/video formats and returns a time-stamped transcript for review. This workflow fits users who transcribe recordings after the fact rather than capturing live meetings. It reduces manual typing by providing a first-pass transcript that can be edited.
Simple transcript editing tools
Temi provides a web editor to play audio while editing text, helping users correct recognition errors efficiently. Time stamps and speaker formatting support basic navigation and cleanup. The interface is oriented toward straightforward transcript production rather than complex collaboration features.
Predictable per-audio pricing model
Temi is commonly positioned around pay-per-minute transcription, which can be easier to budget for occasional use than seat-based subscriptions. This model suits freelancers, students, and small teams with irregular transcription volume. It also avoids committing to a recurring plan for infrequent projects.
Limited meeting-assistant capabilities
Temi is primarily designed for uploading recordings, not for joining live meetings and capturing multi-party conversations automatically. It typically lacks the broader meeting workflows found in some tools in this space, such as automated summaries, action items, and deep calendar/meeting integrations. Teams looking for end-to-end meeting documentation may need additional software.
Accuracy depends on audio quality
As with automated transcription generally, results vary based on background noise, accents, crosstalk, and microphone quality. Users should expect to spend time reviewing and correcting transcripts for professional or compliance-sensitive use. This can reduce the time savings for challenging recordings.
Fewer enterprise controls and integrations
Compared with more enterprise-oriented transcription and conversation-intelligence platforms, Temi typically offers fewer administrative controls, team management features, and system integrations. Organizations that require SSO, centralized governance, or extensive API-driven workflows may find it insufficient. This can limit adoption in regulated or large-scale deployments.
Plan & Pricing
Pricing model: Pay-as-you-go Rate: $0.25 per audio minute (billed per minute; rounded up to the nearest minute). Free trial / starter credit: One free transcript up to 45 minutes (no credit card required). Example costs: 5 minutes = $1.25; 120 minutes = $30. Billing / minimums: No subscription required; no account minimums (you pay per file/minute). Temi supports prepaid account balances and credit card/PayPal payments. Discounts / enterprise: No public volume/commitment discounts or subscription tiers disclosed on the official site; contact sales for large/API usage. Notes: API documentation reiterates the $0.25/min rate and that billing is rounded up to the nearest minute.
