Use one representative clip before paying

Use the same short recording with ordinary speech, a proper name and any specialist terms you use. Check English, German or Spanish as appropriate; a claimed language count does not prove transcription quality. Correct spelling and timing, check vertical-screen safe areas, then export. Inspect watermark, resolution, subtitle-file availability and actual credits used. Prices can vary with billing period, country and tax. Do not buy based on an old screenshot or an unsupported accuracy percentage.
