Voice transcription cost

Pinar Cloud voice transcription is the only Pinar feature that consumes AI credits. A recording up to 60 seconds reserves 1 credit; a recording from 61 to 120 seconds reserves 2. On success, the reservation is consumed. A failed transcription refunds it, and a reservation left unsettled for more than five minutes is refunded automatically.

Recording a reproduction timeline and generating its written steps do not debit AI credits.

2

Balances

The account’s first Pro subscription grants 500 credits once. Renewing, canceling and reactivating, or changing plans does not grant them again. Purchased Pinar Cloud packs add 500 credits and last up to 12 months.

In Pinar Cloud, if a transcription is already in progress, wait for it to finish instead of sending the recording again. Failed requests refund the reservation when possible. If the balance is too low, the extension keeps the typed comment and reports that more credits are required.

The soonest-expiring balance is used first. The account menu shows the remaining credits; there is no monthly or annual refill.

  • If a transcription is already running, wait for it to finish instead of sending the same recording again.
  • If a reservation expires or is refunded, record or send the voice comment again.
  • If the workspace shows zero credits, check the remaining balance before buying another 500-credit pack.
