Turnaround Times

The Salad Transcription API operates as a batch, async service, not a real-time service. While most jobs are processed quickly, turnaround times can vary during peak usage when the queue holds thousands of requests. Our multi-step processing model runs audio at approximately 5x the standard playback speed, enabling most transcriptions to be completed faster than the actual audio duration.

We use a sequential long-form algorithm for transcription, prioritizing transcription accuracy over speed, as accuracy is our highest priority.

During high-demand periods, there may be increased turnaround times, but our infrastructure is designed to auto-scale as needed to ensure no job exceeds a processing time of 2 hours.

​
Standard Response Times for a 15-minute (20 MB) Audio Clip:

  • ** < 5 minutes**: 95% of jobs
  • ** 5-30 minutes**: 3% of jobs
  • ** 30-90 minutes**: 2% of jobs
  • ** > 90 minutes**: 1% of jobs

Note : These figures are estimates and can vary based on demand.
