Common Questions
Do I need to pay?
No! The free tier is genuinely free. Groq's generous free tier gives you plenty of dictation daily (2+ hours). Most users never need to upgrade. We only ask for payment if you need longer recordings (30 min) or smart formatting.
When should I upgrade to Pro?
Upgrade to Pro if you need:
- Recordings longer than 2 minutes
- Smart formatting (AI adds punctuation and capitalization)
- Access to your full transcription history
Is Pro a subscription?
No! $29 one-time payment, lifetime access. No recurring charges, ever. Pay once, use forever.
Can I use other APIs besides Groq?
Yes! TalkCopyPaste works with OpenAI, Local Whisper, or any OpenAI-compatible API. Your API key, your choice.
