Recording Transcription
A Transcription represents the transcribed text and metadata from a transcribed recording of a voice call.
The transcription text itself is the result of converting an audio recording to readable text. To generate transcriptions from call recordings, use the TwiML <Record> verb and set transcribe="true".
Your account will be charged if you request transcription for a recording, as this is a paid feature. Additionally, transcription is currently limited to recordings at most two minutes in length.
For pricing information, see the transcriptions pricing page.
